INGREDIENTS

1 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 large egg

0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese

0.25 cup whole wheat flour

0.5 tbsp ghee

10 whole fresh sage leaves

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.13 tsp ground nutmeg

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve and press with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible.

• 2

  Transfer the strained cottage cheese to a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.

• 3

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese, egg, grated parmesan, sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

• 4

  Gently fold in the whole wheat flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

• 5

  Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into long ropes about half an inch thick.

• 6

  Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and use the back of a fork to create small ridges on each gnocchi.

• 7

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and drop the gnocchi in, cooking until they float to the surface.

• 8

  While the gnocchi boil, melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and add the sage leaves until they become crisp and fragrant.

• 9

  Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the skillet and sear for 2 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
