Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chickpea flour (aka garbanzo bean flour)
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 TBS grated parmesan cheese
  • Extra flour for rolling
For serving
  • A simple sauce, like basil pesto
Instructions
  1. Combine chickpea flour, ricotta, egg, salt, and Parmesan in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Transfer to a flour dusted work surface and roll the dough into ½ inch thick logs, working in batches. Cut the logs into 1 inch pieces.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  4. Optional: roll the gnocchi by pressing each flour dusted piece gently onto the tines of a fork. Gently lift the bottom end of the dough off the fork and roll upwards to create the pocket in the center. Alternatively, you can skip this step and cook the 1 inch pieces.
  5. Drop the gnocchi pieces into bowling water and cook until they float, 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve with a simple sauce, such as basil pesto.
Notes
If you skip step 4, this recipe will only take 20 minutes to prep.
