INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (185g)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (40g)
1/4 cup low-fat milk (60g)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (5g)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (10g)
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh basil & parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a medium bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta and all-purpose flour. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If needed, add a little extra flour to make the dough manageable.
Shape the dough into small, bite-sized gnocchi pieces. Place them on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the gnocchi and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are light golden and slightly crisp on the edges.
While the gnocchi roasts, prepare the garlic cream sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the extra virgin olive oil and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Pour in the low-fat milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the chopped fresh basil and parsley, stirring to combine.
Once the gnocchi are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the warm garlic cream sauce over the top.
Garnish with extra herbs or a light sprinkle of Parmesan if desired, and serve immediately.
