Garlic "Gnocchi"

Low carb & keto friendly Gnocchi! 4 Carbs per serving! Amazing pasta!DSC_0793DSC_0794DSC_0797DSC_0800DSC_0801DSC_0804DSC_0806DSC_0822
Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella (Low-Moisture Part-Skim this is a MUST–otherwise it will fall apart when boiled! I find Kraft to work the best!)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • butter & olive oil for sauteing
Method:
  1. Place cheese and garlic in a microwave safe bowl and toss around to combine. Melt cheese in microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  2. Fold in one egg yolk at a time until a homogeneous dough forms. This actually takes a little elbow grease!
  3. Portion dough into 4 balls.
  4. Chill in refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease a silpat or parchment (and your hands-it helps from sticking!) and roll out each ball into a 14-15″ log.
  6. Slice each log into 1″ pieces. (If you like, you can press the tip of a fork onto each piece to get that “gnocchi” look but it’s not necessary)
  7. In a large pot, bring about a half gallon of salted water to a boil (like you would for normal pasta). Place all the gnocchi into the pot and cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. The strain into a colander. (*note: a few of my readers say that have skipped this step and the gnocchi still turns out great!)
  8. Heat a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil to pan.
  9. Add gnocchi and saute each side for about 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Season with salt and pepper and serve!
