1 cup mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons butter
Once melted, add 1 cup almond flour and mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency.
1 cup almond flour
In a separate bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 egg yolk before kneading it into almond flour mixture.
1 egg, 1 egg yolk
Roll dough into a long log shape, approximately ½ inch thick.
Cut log into 1-inch chunks to form gnocchi.
Place gnocchi in freezer for five to ten minutes to help hold their shape while boiling.
Bring a large sauce pot of water to a boil.
Drop ¼ of gnocchi batch into boiling water. Working in small batches helps maintain water temperature to prevent gnocchi from falling apart.
Boil until soft and begin to float, indicating they're ready to be removed from water.
Remove gnocchi from heat and place on a paper towel to soak up excess water.
In a hot pan over medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and then gnocchi.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sear both sides of gnocchi until golden brown before serving with your choice of sauce.
