INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Light Ricotta
1 large Egg
1 medium Potato
0.25 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Boil the medium potato in lightly salted water until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
While the potato cools, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a bowl, mash the boiled potato and mix in the light ricotta, egg, and whole wheat flour until a soft dough forms. Adjust flour amount if necessary to bring the dough together.
On a lightly floured surface, gently roll portions of the dough into long ropes about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the rope into small pieces to form gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches; they are done when they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Plate the cooked gnocchi and top with the herb-roasted tomatoes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a light drizzle of any remaining olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your light, flavorful meal.
