Instructions

FOR THE KETO RICOTTA GNOCCHI

1. Add almond flour, coconut flour and xanthan gum to a medium bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
   
2. Add ricotta and parmesan to a large bowl and mix with a spoon until well combined. Add in flour mixture and mix well. Season to taste with salt and mix in the egg. The dough should be sticky, but form into a ball easily. If it doesn’t (different moisture levels in cheese etc), feel free to add in more almond flour a little at a time. Wrap in cling film (saran wrap) and refrigerate for at least an hour.
   
3. Remove dough from the fridge and form into rounds (roughly 1 inch big). The dough will be soft and still lightly sticky, but should form into rounds with ease. Place in a tray and press down with a fork to lightly flatten them. Freeze for 15 minutes before frying, and the gnocchi can be frozen at this point for up to two months.
   
4. Heat up butter and oil in a skillet or pan over medium/low heat. Once warm, add in garlic slivers and sage leaves. When the garlic is just lightly golden, add in the chilled gnocchi flat-side down along some freshly ground black pepper. Move the pan around to keep them from sticking, basting them throughout the cooking. They will be fragile, so handle with care. When ready, the bottom will have formed a deep-golden crust (see pictures), about 4-5 minutes.
   
5. Serve right away atop a bed of steamed spinach, sage butter sauce and a handful cherry tomatoes (optional).
   

RECIPE NOTES

Feel free to go ahead and freeze the gnocchi, but you’ll want to thaw them out slightly before cooking.

Keep in mind that nutrition facts were estimated per 80g serving of the gnocchi only, and the recipe yields 6 servings.
