Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, and psyllium husk powder. Whisk to mix evenly and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until fully melted and smooth. Stir well.
Let the cheese mixture cool slightly, then add in the egg. Mix until well combined.
To the cheese and egg mixture, add the dry ingredients from the first step: almond flour mixture, xanthan gum, and sea salt.
Stir the dough until it thickens and comes together, then knead it by hand until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of almond flour.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1 inch in diameter, then cut each rope into bite-sized pieces to form your dumplings.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add olive oil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water one by one. Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the dumplings until they float to the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them once done.
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb sauce or in a comforting broth. Enjoy your low-carb pasta dumplings!
