This date is ending up with both of you happily asleep on the couch while The Notebook plays in the background 😀

Would almond flour work?

2 Eggs

Shredded cheese

Seasoning to taste

Add enough cheese to make into a dough

Roll out and cut like gnocchi

Use as regular gnocchi in soups, pasta dishes etc.

Yumm!!

For the keto gnocchi dough:

2 cups super fine blanched almond flour

2 cups shredded full fat mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup butter

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

For the sauce:

1/4 cup salted butter

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Combine the mozzarella cheese and butter in a medium bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.

Stir, then microwave another minute.

Stir vigorously with a rubber spatula until fully combined, and then cool for 2 minutes.

Stir in the egg, egg yolk and almond flour.

Continue to mix until a rough dough is formed, this could take several minutes.

Turn out the dough onto a smooth surface (or parchment paper) and knead until a semi-stretchy dough is formed. (if the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon or more of almond flour until workable)

Form the dough into a long roll about 1 inch in diameter and then cut pieces about 1/2″ wide.  You can then form them into almost any bite sized shape you want, but sticking with a simple disk as shown in the photos yielded the best results for me.

Freeze the gnocchi for 15 minutes to firm them up. before cooking, or freeze them until ready to eat.

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil – too vigorous and the gnocchi will fall apart.

Add the gnocchi to the water in small batches and boil for 1 – 2 minutes or until floating.

Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate, and cool for 5 minutes before adding to sauce.

For the sauce:

Melt the butter in a large saute pan.

Add lemon zest and thyme and cook for about 2 minutes or until fragrant.

Add the boiled and cooled keto gnocchi to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring gently to coat with the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper as desired

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt made this recipe (I suspect this is a copy) and it’s a much better way to learn how to make it than this gif. Highly recommend looking it up on YouTube

Doesn’t ricotta have a surprising amount of carbs?

If you don’t mind it tasting like coconut

ugh that looks so good.

not the best technique.

Yes you can and I would or maybe even try almond flour

I would also be careful with the cooking of the gnocchi. If they become too mushy after “making them float and putting them into hot sauce”, I can recommend cold water wash for 10-15 sec after they float and then into the hot sauce. This would stop the overcooking.

Also, after floating (and cold water) I usually combine them in a pan with butter, some cheese and pesto for a minute or so. Result is full of umami. A piece of salmon with the skin on the side takes this recipe to another level for me

That looks amazing but how on earth is this allowed on this sub?

It’s not even Gnoochi!? Where’s the potatoes?

The whole time I’m sitting here thinking “Gnocchi can’t be keto, it’s potato pasta!”
