Gnocchi Recipe

Makes 1 large batch of gnocchi

I love this gluten free gnocchi recipe so much as it not only tastes amazing, it is easy to make and leaves you feeling full afterwards. I make this up and store it in the freezer, so when I am short on time but want a healthy dinner I can quickly throw it in a pan with some sauce and chicken, and have a healthy quick dinner! My favourite way to have this is with a tomato based pasta sauce, however you can have it so many different ways that are all delicious.

Ingredients:

• 500g of white potato, chopped
• 1 cup of chickpea flour
• 1/2 cup of GF plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 teaspoon of salt

How To:

1. Add the chopped potatoes to a pan of boiling water and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Drain the water and mash into a smooth consistency.
2. In large mixing bowl, add the mash potatoes, salt, chickpea and GF flour and knead together until a smooth dough is formed.
3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into ropes, approximately 1.5cm thick. Cut of 2cm at a time, and slide each piece across a flour dusted fork to made the indentation.

There are 2 ways to cook this gnocchi: fried or boiled. While both work well, I prefer to add the gnocchi to a fry pan with a drizzle of olive oil, and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the gnocchi cooks evenly. Then add the sauce of choice to the pan, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
