Homemade Sweet Potato Pasta (Gnocchi)
Fall in love with the fun and soul-healing experience of making homemade sweet potato gnocchi! And you'll only need three ingredients - sweet potatoes, flour and salt.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes baked
- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Make a few holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork, then bake them for 40-50 minutes or until tender. They are done when a fork can be pressed into the centre easily. Set aside to cool them down.
- Combine the salt and 2 cups of the flour. Flour a work surface and pour your flour mixture onto the surface. Make a well in the middle of the flour.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cool, remove the skin and mash the flesh with the fork. You want to achieve a doughy consistency.
- Begin working the sweet potato into the flour. Continue to work the mixture until it's thoroughly combined. Keep adding flour until you get a nice dry dough.
- Once thoroughly combined, roll the dough into a ball and cut it into even pieces. Next, roll each piece into a long, thick log. Next, cut it into 3 cm pieces. Gently toss each piece into flour to ensure it's dry and not sticky at any edges. Continue until you've cut out pieces from all of the dough.
- Shape gnocchis by pressing fork grooves into each piece.
- Heat a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the gnocchi and let cook for a couple of minutes. Once the gnocchi floats to the water's surface, let it boil for 30 more seconds and then remove it using a slotted spoon.
- You can keep gnocchi in the fridge, or freeze for a few weeks. To serve, toss them in your favourite sauce and enjoy!
