Its been a long long long time since Ive posted a new recipe. Ive been making alot of new ones, just havent sat down long enough to put them online.
Here's one I came up with yesterday, made them last night and froze them, then cooked them today with a parmesan rose sauce and some fresh parmesan.
2 large sweet potatoes
1/4 cup light ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove
2 cups flour
1 egg
salt and pepper
-Cook sweet potatoes in 350degree oven, for 40-50 minutes, or until tender
-Remove and let cool
-Once the potatoes are cool, the skin should peel right off
-Place potatoes in a large bowl, and mash
-Add ricotta, minced garlic, and egg, mixing well
-Add the flour, a little at a time, until a nice smooth dough is formed (you dont want it too sticky, but dont want it to crumble, needs to hold together)
-Make 4 balls out of the dough
-Roll them into long thing 'snake' shapes, about 1in
-Cut them into 1in sections
-If you want the gnocchi indendations, use a fork, pressing down on each gnocchi
To freeze:
I sprinkled 2 cookie sheets with flour and placed the gnocchi on them, in the freezer for about an hour, then put them in ziploc bags
To cook:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add gnocchi, cook until they float to the surface
Taste amazing with any sauce, or just a bit of sage and butter :)
mmm
