This recipe features a blend of low-fat ricotta, egg whites, and whole wheat flour, all roasted to perfection with fragrant fresh herbs. The result is a delicately textured dish that is satisfying and well-balanced for your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta
4 egg whites
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Fresh sage leaves
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta, egg whites, whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Stir until a smooth dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until it comes together. Divide the dough into 4 portions for easier handling.
Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a cast iron pan or oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and let them crisp up for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn them.
Gently add the gnocchi to the pan, tossing them lightly with the crispy sage. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 8-10 minutes or until the gnocchi turn golden and are slightly crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven, crumble any extra crispy sage over the top, and serve warm. Enjoy your balanced, herb-roasted ricotta gnocchi!
