Servings: 4 people
Calories: 324kcal
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 Cup Almond Flour
- 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
- 2 tsp Xanthum Gum You find this in your "health section"
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2/3 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly Mix your dry ingredients together. (Almond flour, Coconut flour, Xanthan Gum)
- With a mixer, blend your wet ingredients together. (Cottage Cheese, Grated Parmesan Cheese, Egg, salt)
- Now mix everything together to form a dough.
- Divide your dough into two.
- Chill for 30 mins or 24 hours
- Make a snake with each ball of dough on plastic wrap. This "snake" should be no thicker than your thumb. If you have big thumbs pretend you have slightly smaller thumbs… no you don't have big thumbs, I'm talking about that other person 😉
- Cut the snakes into smaller snakes (about the length of your thumb)
- Use a fork add lines to the gnocchi. (Gently smush with fork). This texture will help to hold the sauce.
- At this point I usually give them a light fry to add more texture. (And cook the egg)
- They are ready for saucing with your favourite recipe.

They were really nice and soft. I used pecorino romano cheese as it was lying in my fridge for some time. I doubled the amounts as I thought it was quite small. I just realized writing this review, I only used 1.5 teaspoons of xanthan gum but they were holding the shape beautifully. Will definitely do them more often.
