Sweet Potato Gnocchi
- 2 lbs peeled sweet potatoes
- 1 c flour
- 2 tbsp butter
Boil the chopped potatoes in water and salt until soft. Drain the water and press/mash the potatoes until smooth. Add flour and butter. Stir until well-mixed like dough, making sure there are no lumps.
To start making the gnocchi, pinch off some dough and roll it into a ball about 1 inch round. Roll the ball across the tines of a fork with your thumb to get the gnocchi "stripe". Do this with all of the dough.
Boil a new batch of water and put the gnocchi in. Cook until they float on top of water.
Cheezy Sauce for Gnocchi
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 c skim milk
- 1 c nutritional yeast
- 1/4 tsp vegetable broth paste or miso paste
- 1/4 c basil or 1 tbsp dried basil
- salt/pepper
Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour. Pour in milk, nutritional yeast, paste and basil. Mix until smooth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired. Drop in the cooked gnocchi. Lightly mix until the sauce becomes slightly thick and covers the gnocchi.
Added bonus: Grill some asparagus and throw it on top.
