INGREDIENTS
150g Low-Fat Ricotta
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (approx. 40g)
2 Egg Whites
2 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
4 Fresh Sage Leaves
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta, egg whites, whole wheat flour, and chopped basil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix until a soft dough forms.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour and gently knead the dough until it comes together. Divide the dough into 4 portions.
Roll each portion into a long log about 1/2 inch in diameter and cut into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the gnocchi into the water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it begins to brown and develops a nutty aroma, then add the fresh sage leaves and let them crisp for about 30 seconds.
Toss the cooked gnocchi gently in the brown butter sage sauce, and finish with lemon zest and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Plate the gnocchi and serve immediately, enjoying the blend of creamy texture with a warm, aromatic, and buttery finish.
