Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 oz Cream cheese
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 14 oz Canned tomatoes, crushed
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until fully melted, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese. Mix until a uniform dough forms.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 4 equal sections and roll each section into a long rope about 1/2-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

Step 5

Place gnocchi pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Stir in the fresh basil and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove gnocchi from the oven and gently toss them with the tomato sauce in the pan.

Step 10

Serve hot with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
