Herb-Ricotta Gnocchi with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce
Enjoy a comforting plate of homemade herb-ricotta gnocchi dressed in a silky roasted garlic cream sauce. The tender, pillowy gnocchi melds beautifully with the rich yet light sauce, accented by fragrant basil and parsley for a delightful, gourmet experience.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cream
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and roast for about 20 minutes until soft and fragrant.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta, whole wheat flour, egg whites, and fresh herbs. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour and gently knead the dough until it becomes smooth. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a log about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi. Optionally, press each piece with a fork to create ridges that help capture the sauce.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi in batches; once they float to the top, remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a small saucepan, mash the roasted garlic and stir in the low-fat cream. Simmer gently over low heat until the sauce is warm and slightly thickened.
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the roasted garlic cream sauce, ensuring even coating, and serve immediately.
