Gnocchi
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato
½ cup finely chopped #spinach (about one cup tightly packed whole leaves)
1 ¾ cups almond flour (plus another ½ cup to dust while slicing)
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch (plus another ¼ cup to dust while slicing)
¾ tsp garlic powder
¾ tsp salt
Instructions
Clean and boil the sweet potato until just soft, a fork should go in but you don’t want it mushy. This should take about 15 minutes.
Wash and chop the spinach in a food processor.
Once the potato is done, take it out of the water and set aside to cool. When cooled, peel the skin off the potato.
Using a grater or ricer, grate the potato into a bowl. I used the grater attachment on my KitchenAid mixer. Mix in the spinach.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, starch, garlic powder and salt. You can make the extra flour for dusting in a separate bowl or you can make it all in one bowl.
Sprinkle some flour mixture on a flat surface then put the potato/spinach mixture on top.
Add the rest of the mixture ½ cup at a time to the sweet potato and spinach and mix with your hands until you get a dough that does not stick to your fingers. You want it just pliable but not sticky. Depending on how wet and cooked your potato got, you may need less or more flour mixture.
Once the dough is ready, separate it into 8 equal parts. Roll each part out into long snake like rolls. Cut each into 1 inch pieces.
Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Drop gnocchi in. Once they float to the top remove from the water with a slotted spoon.
