INGREDIENTS
150g Ricotta (part-skim)
1 large Egg
30g Whole Wheat Flour
20g Grated Parmesan Cheese
6 Asparagus Spears
0.5 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, gently mix the ricotta, egg, whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough light.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces, and if desired, press each piece lightly with a fork to create ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches. When they float to the top (approximately 2-3 minutes), use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside.
Meanwhile, place the asparagus and cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the tomatoes blister slightly.
To combine, gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the roasted vegetables. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and serve immediately while warm.
