INGREDIENTS
250g Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
30g Whole Wheat Flour
1 Egg
1 Egg White
150g Cherry Tomatoes
5g Fresh Basil
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg, egg white, and whole wheat flour. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead just enough to form a smooth dough. Pat it into a log about 1 inch in diameter.
Cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi. Optionally, roll lightly over a fork tines to create grooves for extra sauce retention.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
While the gnocchi are boiling, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they blister and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the blistered tomatoes and torn fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning if desired.
Plate the dish and serve immediately, enjoying the creamy texture of the gnocchi complemented by the sweet and tangy tomatoes and aromatic basil.
