INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 large egg
1 tbsp unsalted butter
6 fresh sage leaves
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, whole wheat flour, egg, a pinch of salt, pepper, and the chopped fresh rosemary. Stir until just combined to form a soft dough.
Lightly dust a work surface with whole wheat flour. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Divide the dough into small portions.
Roll each portion into a long, thin rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi. Optionally, press each piece lightly with a fork to create ridges.
Place the gnocchi on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they begin to lightly brown and firm up.
While the gnocchi are roasting, melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and let the butter cook until it turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Remove the roasted gnocchi from the oven and transfer them into the skillet with the sage brown butter. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi evenly with the sauce.
Plate the herb-roasted ricotta gnocchi and drizzle any remaining brown butter from the pan over the top. Finish with an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
