Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small onion
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, grated parmesan cheese, xanthan gum, and cream cheese. Mix well until the cream cheese is fully blended into the flours.

Step 2

Add the egg and continue mixing until a dough forms.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick on a lightly floured surface (use almond flour to lightly dust).

Step 4

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi and set aside.

Step 5

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for about 2–3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

For the sauce, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and finely diced onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon while cooking.

Step 8

Stir in tomato paste, canned crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Combine the cooked gnocchi with the meat sauce in the skillet, gently stirring to coat the gnocchi.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped basil.
