Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and forms a dough-like consistency.
Let the dough cool slightly, then add the egg yolk and knead until combined. If the dough becomes sticky, you can lightly dust with almond flour.
On a clean surface, roll the dough into long, thin ropes (about 1/2 inch thick) and cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook in batches for about 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the tomato cream sauce.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly tomato gnocchi!
