Keto Ricotta Gnocchi

Ingredients:

– 1 cup ricotta cheese, drained
– 1 large egg
– 1 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Directions:

1. Grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the drained ricotta cheese, egg, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if you’re feeling fancy). Mix everything together until a lovely dough forms.
2. Lightly flour a clean surface with almond flour to prevent sticking. Divide your dough into four equal portions and roll each one into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut those ropes into 1-inch pieces to create your gnocchi.
3. Take a fork and gently press down on each piece, creating ridges that will help capture your delicious sauce later on.
4. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the gnocchi and watch them float to the surface—this will take about 2-3 minutes. Once they do, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and set them aside.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your cooked gnocchi and sauté until they’re golden brown and crispy, roughly 3-5 minutes.
6. Serve these heavenly bites warm, topped with your favorite keto-friendly sauce or toppings. Enjoy!
