Ingredients

• 2 medium, peeled and cubed Sweet potato
• 1.5 cups Cassava flour
• 0.25 cups Arrowroot starch
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for adjusting sauce consistency) Water

Directions

Step 1

Steam the sweet potato cubes for 10-12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked sweet potato to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the cassava flour, arrowroot starch, egg, and sea salt to the mashed sweet potato. Mix thoroughly until a thick and pliable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add 1-2 tablespoons of cassava flour as needed.

Step 4

Lightly dust a clean surface with arrowroot starch. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. If desired, use a fork to gently press ridges into each piece for texture.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water if the sauce seems too thick.

Step 9

Toss the cooked gnocchi in the tomato sauce until evenly coated. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo-friendly Tomato Gnocchi!
