INGREDIENTS

0.5 cup low-fat ricotta cheese

1 large egg white

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 cup all-purpose flour

3 oz grilled chicken breast

1 tsp ghee

4 large fresh sage leaves

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 cup baby spinach

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium bowl, stir together the low-fat ricotta cheese, egg white, grated parmesan, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

• 2

  Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms, taking care not to over-mix which can make the gnocchi tough.

• 3

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and drop small, teaspoon-sized dollops of the ricotta mixture into the water.

• 4

  Cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface, then remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

• 5

  In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee and add the fresh sage leaves, cooking until they are crisp and the ghee is aromatic.

• 6

  Add the sliced grilled chicken breast and baby spinach to the skillet, tossing until the spinach is wilted and the chicken is heated through.

• 7

  Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat each piece in the sage-infused ghee before serving.
