Yield: 2
Ingredients
- 350g ricotta (300g drained weight)
- 1 small egg
- 25g lupin flour
- ¼ tsp guar gum
- 1 tsp fine Himalayan pink salt
- 4 TBSP fine coconut flour
Instructions
- wrap the ricotta in a cheesecloth and place it in a sieve over a bowl for 24 hours.
- put strained ricotta in a medium bowl and whisk so as to get rid of any lumps.
- break the whole egg directly into the ricotta bowl, add salt and stir gently, using a fork.
- incorporate lupin flour and guar gum.
- scatter coconut flour over a plate.
- using 2 teaspoons, form quinels of ricotta mix, the size of small walnuts, easing each one onto the coconut flour plate.
- roll them gently in the coconut flour to coat them, and finally transfer them to another plate, nicely spaced from each other.
- you should end up with 32 gnocchi.
- put the gnocchi in the fridge while you bring a medium size pot of salted water to the boil.
- with the water on full boil, gently ease 7-8 gnocchi into it by hand, in quick succession, one at a time.
- as soon as they float, remove the gnocchi with a straining ladle and put them onto a serving plate.
- discard the coconut flour foam that will gather both on the ladle and at the top of the boiling water.
- repeat until you've cooked all the gnocchi.
- tilt the serving plate and soak up any remaining water that may seep out, using a kitchen paper towel.
- serve topped with plenty of Italian ragú and lots of freshly grated Parmesan.
