INGREDIENTS
1 cup Low-Fat Fresh Ricotta (245g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (43g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (150g)
1 cup Baby Spinach (30g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (5g)
1 tbsp Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh ricotta, whole wheat flour, and egg white. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and gently roll the dough into a long log about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the log into small pieces to form the gnocchi.
Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured tray.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few torn basil leaves on a baking sheet.
Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until they are soft and lightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes roast, quickly wilt the baby spinach in a pan over medium heat or add them fresh if preferred.
Gently combine the roasted tomatoes and spinach with the freshly made gnocchi. If desired, give the gnocchi a quick sauté in the pan for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown them.
Finish by garnishing with additional fresh basil and season with extra salt and pepper to taste before serving.
