INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta (125g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (43g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (14g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Sage Leaves (2g)
1 ounce Grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil (2g)
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (2g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine low-fat ricotta, whole wheat flour, and egg white along with finely chopped fresh basil and parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Mix until a soft dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a touch more flour gradually until it reaches a workable consistency.
Lightly dust a work surface with whole wheat flour and gently roll the dough into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into small pieces to create the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches; they will sink and then float to the surface. Once they rise, let them cook for an additional 30 seconds before using a slotted spoon to remove them.
In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to continue cooking until it turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma. Add fresh sage leaves and let them crisp up in the brown butter for about 1 minute.
Toss the cooked gnocchi in the brown butter sage sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Plate the gnocchi and finish the dish with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
