Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 oz Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 14 oz Canned tomatoes, crushed
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until fully melted, stirring occasionally.
Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal sections and roll each section into a long rope about 1/2-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
Place gnocchi pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the fresh basil and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Remove gnocchi from the oven and gently toss them with the tomato sauce in the pan.
Serve hot with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
