Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 2 cup Almond Flour
• 2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 Egg Yolks

Instructions

1. Combine the mozzarella cheese and butter in a medium bowl and microwave for 1 minute.
2. Stir, then microwave another minute.
3. Stir until fully combined and cool for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the egg and egg yolk until combined.
5. Add the almond flour and stir with a large spoon until combined.
6. Turn out dough onto a smooth surface (or parchment paper) and knead until a semi-stretchy dough is formed. (if the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon or more of almond flour until workable)
7. Form the dough into a long roll about 1 inch in diameter and then cut pieces about 1/2″ wide. You can then form them into almost any bite-sized shape you want, but sticking with a simple disk as shown in the photos yielded the best results for me.
8. Freeze the gnocchi for 10 minutes to firm them up.
9. Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil – too vigorous and the gnocchi will fall apart.
10. Add the gnocchi to the water in small batches and boil for 1 – 2 minutes or until floating.
11. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate, and cool for 5 minutes before adding to sauce.
