INGREDIENTS
1 cup Part-Skim Ricotta (245g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (30g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
1 cup Baby Spinach (30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta, egg white, whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and a little ground pepper along with a minced garlic clove. Stir until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with a bit of whole wheat flour. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead until it comes together. Roll the dough into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter, then cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to a plate.
Meanwhile, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and let them blister until their skins begin to char slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet with the tomatoes and sauté briefly until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the blistered tomatoes and spinach. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
