INGREDIENTS
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta
1/4 cup Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
2 large Egg Whites
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 head Roasted Garlic
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
Salt, Pepper & Red Pepper Flakes to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F to roast the garlic. Slice the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 35-40 minutes until soft and fragrant.
While the garlic roasts, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, then drain.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted garlic (squeeze out the softened cloves), half cup of ricotta, Greek yogurt, and egg whites. Blend until smooth to form a creamy sauce.
Warm 1 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the garlic cream sauce and gently heat for 2-3 minutes without boiling to preserve its creaminess.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Finish by stirring in chopped fresh basil and parsley, then serve immediately.
