INGREDIENTS

0.5 cup fat-free ricotta cheese

1 large egg

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.33 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

4 oz raw shrimp

0.25 tbsp ghee

1 clove garlic

6 leaves fresh sage

1 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fat-free ricotta, egg, grated parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.

• 2

  Gradually fold in the unbleached all-purpose flour until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

• 3

  Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into four equal portions, rolling each into a long rope about half an inch thick.

• 4

  Cut the ropes into one-inch pieces and set aside on a parchment-lined tray.

• 5

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and drop the gnocchi in, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until they float to the surface.

• 6

  While the gnocchi cook, melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic and fresh sage leaves.

• 7

  Add the raw shrimp to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque, allowing the sage to become crisp and nutty.

• 8

  Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the skillet, tossing gently with lemon juice to coat before serving.
