INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta (125g)
50g whole wheat pastry flour
1 large egg white (33g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25g)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (14g)
1 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 tsp lemon zest
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta, whole wheat pastry flour, egg white, and grated Parmesan along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and gently knead the dough just until combined. If too sticky, add a bit more flour, but avoid overworking.
Divide the dough into several portions and roll each into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a simmer. Drop in the gnocchi in batches. When they float to the surface, cook for an additional 30 seconds before draining.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to cook until it turns a nutty brown color, then add the chopped sage and lemon zest. Stir for a few seconds to release the aroma, being careful not to burn the butter.
Gently toss the cooked gnocchi in the brown butter sage sauce until evenly coated.
Plate immediately and finish with an extra light sprinkle of grated Parmesan if desired.
