INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 large Egg White
1/2 cup Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, whole wheat flour, and egg white. Mix until just combined to form a soft dough.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a long rope. Cut into small pieces to form gnocchi.
Place the gnocchi on a floured baking sheet. Optionally, you can gently press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
Toss chickpeas, sliced zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red bell pepper in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables and chickpeas on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling water. When they rise to the surface, they are done, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well.
Combine the cooked gnocchi with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve warm.
