Ingredients

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter organic
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Begin by melting 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
    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.
