Incredibly Easy Low Carb Keto Ricotta Gnocchi Recipes

KETO GNOCCHI

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir well. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, and egg. Stir until a dough forms. Add water only if the dough is too stiff.
• Form the dough into a ball. Wet your hands. Knead the dough 2-3 times to bring it together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
• Remove from refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Cut the ball into 2. Roll one ball at a time into a long log. Cut into 1" pieces.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter. When melted, add the gnocchi to the pan. Fry until golden on one side, then flip and fry on the other side, about 4 minutes per side.
• Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, toasted walnuts, and crispy sage, or dress with pesto or tomato sauce.

Steps:

• wrap the ricotta in a cheesecloth and place it in a sieve over a bowl for 24 hours.
• put strained ricotta in a medium bowl and whisk so as to get rid of any lumps.
• break the whole egg directly into the ricotta bowl, add salt and stir gently, using a fork.
• incorporate lupin flour and guar gum.
• scatter coconut flour over a plate.
• using 2 teaspoons, form quinels of ricotta mix, the size of small walnuts, easing each one onto the coconut flour plate.
• roll them gently in the coconut flour to coat them, and finally transfer them to another plate, nicely spaced from each other.
• you should end up with 32 gnocchi.
• put the gnocchi in the fridge while you bring a medium size pot of salted water to the boil.
• with the water on full boil, gently ease 7-8 gnocchi into it by hand, in quick succession, one at a time.
• as soon as they float, remove the gnocchi with a straining ladle and put them onto a serving plate.
• discard the coconut flour foam that will gather both on the ladle and at the top of the boiling water.
• repeat until you've cooked all the gnocchi.
• tilt the serving plate and soak up any remaining water that may seep out, using a kitchen paper towel.
• serve topped with plenty of Italian ragú and lots of freshly grated Parmesan.

LOW CARB RICOTTA GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Place the ricotta in a large bowl and whip it to break up the curd, then add the egg and stir well to incorporate.
• Add the Parmesan and salt and mix well.
• Place the flour in a large shallow dish, then use teaspoons to make oval-shaped gnocchi of about 1/2 teaspoon dough at a time and drop them into the flour (don't let the gnocchi touch each other or they'll stick).
• Drop 6 gnocchi into the flour, then coat them lightly by rolling the plate; carefully dust excess flour off the gnocchi and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and repeat process until all the gnocchi are made.
• Place gnocchi in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until they're firm - you can refrigerate them overnight, but they're better eaten the same day as they're prepared.
• Cook the gnocchi by simmering them in salted boiling water or chicken broth, they'll float to the top and you can remove them when they're done to your preference (original recipe called for removal at this point of 3-4 minutes, but I found they needed more simmering and left them in for 7-9 minutes); remove with a slotted spoon.
• These go well with sautéed peas in butter and sage, or your favorite pasta sauce, and shavings of Parmesan.
