Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Tomato Basil Sauce

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Tomato Basil Sauce



Ingredients

2 medium to large sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled
1 1/2 - 2 almond flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
Pinch of salt
1 28 ounce can tomato sauce
3-4 tablespoons fresh basil
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon oregano


Method

Step 1
Peel sweet potatoes and cube. Bring a large pot to boil.

Step 2
Boil sweet potatoes for 20 minutes or until tender. Remove sweet potatoes from water and place them in a lined paper towel bowl to soak up water.

Step 3
Add your sweet potatoes to a mixer and mash them. Stick your mashed sweet potato in the frige to cool about 30 minutes.

Step 4
Blend tomato sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano in blender.

Step 5
Once your sweet potatoes have cooled add your one egg and mix it well. Then slowly add your flour, 1/4 of a cup at a time, until the dough starts to come together.

Step 6
To form the gnocchi, take about a fourth of the dough and add it to a well floured surface. Completely coat in flour and roll it like a snake. Try to get an even thickness thumb size is good.

Step 7
Once you get the rope of gnocchi to the right width, chop it into 1/2 inch sections.

Step 8
take each 1/2 inch section and make a fork imprint on them.

Step 9
Add these to a pot a boiling water. Once gnocchi begins to float remove and top off with Tomato Basil Sauce!

Step 10
Enjoy!
