Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh spinach
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain the spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Finely chop the drained spinach and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
Crack the egg into the bowl, then add salt and black pepper. Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface with a small amount of almond flour. Divide the dough into four sections.
Roll each section into a thin log, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. Slice the logs into bite-sized pieces to form the gnocchi.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook the gnocchi in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Serve the gnocchi immediately with your favorite keto-friendly sauce, such as marinara, Alfredo, or browned butter and sage.
