INGREDIENTS
1 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (250g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (30g, sifted)
1 cup Chopped Broccoli (91g)
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Fresh Basil (optional, 2g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chopped broccoli and sliced red bell pepper with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, egg white, and whole wheat flour. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix until a dough forms; if the dough is sticky, add a little extra flour.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Roll the dough into a log approximately 1/2-inch thick. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi in batches. When the gnocchi float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes), they are done. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Plate the cooked gnocchi and top with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh basil if desired and serve immediately.
