Gluten Free Spinach Gnocchi

[MICHALANO]

I just worked this recipe out today and it came out much better than I had expected.

Gluten Free Spinach Gnocchi (little spinach dumplings in a garlic butter sauce)

Flour mix

15oz carton whole milk ricotta cheese

16oz package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and with the excess moisture squeezed out.

two large Eggs

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Large pot of boiling salted water

Flour Mix

20 g. Tapioca Flour

75 g. White Rice Flour

75 g. Brown Rice Flour

35 g. Potato Flour

15 g. Corn Starch

15 g. Xanthan Gum

Combine Cheese, Spinach, and Eggs in food processor and process on high until mixture is smooth. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Reserve about 1/2 cup of flour mix to flour counter and add the remainder to Cheese/Egg/Spinach mix. Pulse processor to combine turn out into a bowl to knead thoroughly. Take a hand full of dough and roll it with your hands on a floured board to make a long rope about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. cut the rope into 3/4 inch pieces and using the tines of a fork to slightly flatten and make indentations in one side.

Toss into boiling salted water and cook in batches until they float. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and set aside while the rest are boiled.

Garlic Butter Sauce

1/2 stick salted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large garlic clove chopped fine

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 cup white wine or broth.

In a skillet melt butter and olive oil. Sauté garlic until tender. Add basil and wine/broth and reduce by half. Add cooked Gnocchi to garlic butter sauce toss to coat and re-warm dumplings. Serve with grated cheese.

Goes very well with a broiled chicken breast and small salad.

Maybe I can make some gnocchi now. My husband loves it, but he eats gluten-free suppers because of me. I'll have to find something non-dairy to replace the cheese though. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Some gnocchi are traditionally made with potatoes instead of ricotta cheese - used leftover mashed potatoes and work in the flour and eggs and other ingredients.

The G is silent, N is soft, and the E & O are hard and the I sounds like a hard E. Then run it all together.

I've also seen them with sweet potato, or mashed pumpkin. The cheese makes them less heavy and cuts down on the carbs a bit.
