Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.75 cup Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 8 Fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and salt.
Step 2
Add the ricotta cheese and egg yolks to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky.
Step 3
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and gently roll it into a log about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 4
Cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Carefully add the gnocchi pieces to the skillet, cooking on each side until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the gnocchi from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
Step 8
Add the sage leaves and sauté until the butter becomes fragrant and begins to brown slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 9
Return the fried gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss them in the sage butter, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Step 10
Season with black pepper and additional salt if necessary.
Step 11
Serve the gnocchi hot, garnished with any remaining sage leaves and more freshly grated Parmesan if desired.
