INGREDIENTS
1 medium Sweet Potato (150g)
1 large Egg (50g)
20g Buckwheat Flour
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
1 cup Fresh Basil (22g)
5g Pine Nuts
0.5 teaspoon Olive Oil (2.5g)
5g Grated Parmesan Cheese
100g Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the cherry tomatoes.
For the gnocchi dough, bake or steam the sweet potato until tender. Scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl.
Mix in the egg and buckwheat flour with the mashed sweet potato until a smooth dough forms. Adjust flour if too sticky.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into long logs and cut into bite-sized pieces to form gnocchi.
Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface. Remove and set aside.
For the basil pesto, blend fresh basil, pine nuts, olive oil, and grated Parmesan until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the vibrant basil pesto to lightly coat.
On a baking tray, arrange cherry tomatoes and roast them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until softened.
Plate the pesto-coated gnocchi, top with roasted cherry tomatoes, and add sliced grilled chicken breast on the side or on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of tender textures and fresh, aromatic flavors.
