Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 medium Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond flour and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 2

Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and forms a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Let the dough cool slightly, then add the egg yolk and knead until combined. If the dough becomes sticky, you can lightly dust with almond flour.

Step 4

On a clean surface, roll the dough into long, thin ropes (about 1/2 inch thick) and cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

Step 5

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook in batches for about 1-2 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the tomato cream sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly tomato gnocchi!
