Looking for a deliciously low-carb twist on a classic comfort food? These Keto Ricotta Gnocchi are light, fluffy, and guilt-free! #KetoEats #ComfortFood #HealthyRecipes #LowCarb #Gnocchi Ingredients: - 1 cup ricotta cheese, well-drained - 1 large egg - 1 cup almond flour - 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (or 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder) - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) - 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter Directions: 1. **Drain the Ricotta**: Start by placing the ricotta cheese in a fine-mesh sieve or wrapped in cheesecloth. Press out the excess moisture and let it drain for at least 30 minutes. This step is key for perfect gnocchi! 2. **Prepare the Dough**: In a large mixing bowl, combine your drained ricotta, the egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, xanthan gum (or psyllium husk), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and optional nutmeg. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms. 3. **Chill the Dough**: Cover your dough with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps it firm up nicely! 4. **Shape the Gnocchi**: Lightly flour your clean countertop with almond flour. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope (about 1/2 inch thick), then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to make those cute little ridges on your gnocchi. 5. **Pan-Fry Instead of Boiling**: Heat some olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and cook for about 3-5 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. Yum! 6. **Serve & Enjoy**: Dish up your gnocchi warm, and pair them with a keto-friendly sauce of your choice, like Alfredo, butter and sage, or marinara. The possibilities are endless!
