INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups cauliflower rice
- Two egg yolks
- One cup grated parmesan cheese
- Six tbsp. almond flour
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
INGREDIENT NOTES:
CAULIFLOWER RICE:
- Rice (or grated) cauliflower in its raw state. Although you can make it yourself, I purchase the pre-packaged ones.
EGG YOLKS:
- Meringue cookies may be made using the yolks saved.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Instead of using processed parmesan cheese, which is often kept at room temperature, you must use freshly grated cheese.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Utilize finely blanched almond flour instead using almond meal; because almond meal will make the gnocchi to get crumbled.
SHREDDED CHEESE:
- Since mozzarella cheese melts the quickest and has a mild flavor, I suggest using it.

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Take a big microwave-safe bowl and put the cauliflower rice in the bowl.
- Steam it for two to three minutes, or until it is soft.
- Properly squeeze out the liquid from the cauliflower rice and also drain it then put it into a large mixing bowl.
- Stir together the egg yolks, parmesan cheese, and almond flour.
- Melt your shredded cheese in a separate microwave-safe dish. Add to the combination of cauliflower.
- Mix well until completely combined.
- Form four dough balls with your hands that are somewhat moist.
- To firm them up, put them on a dish, cover it, and put it in the refrigerator for ten minutes.
- Sprinkle almond flour on a kitchen surface. Place the dough balls on the counter after taking the plate out of the fridge.
- Each ball should be rolled into a thin log before being cut into little pieces. Apply pressure to each one with a fork.
- After twenty minutes, cover and refrigerate the gnocchi.
- Take a big sauce-pan and fill it with water and boil its water with the addition of salt in it. Once it’s boiling, cook the gnocchi for one minute.
- Before putting the gnocchi in dishes and covering them with your preferred pasta sauce, be sure to drain them well.
RECIPE VARIATION:
- Put the gnocchi in a skillet with salt, butter, and chopped garlic. In addition to giving it a beautiful brown hue, the butter significantly improves the flavor.
- Top the gnocchi with fresh basil and a sprinkle of olive oil.
- Remember to add the sauce! Serve the gnocchi with keto Alfredo sauce, sundried tomato pesto, or even keto cheese sauce.
TIPS:
- Keep the refrigeration time in mind. Don’t worry, it gives the dough the traditional gnocchi bite and helps it firm up. I know it seems laborious to do this twice.
- Do not cook the gnocchi too much. Gnocchi should only be boiled for one minute; if they are boiled for more, they will cling together and begin to fall apart.
- Make batches of the gnocchi. Gnocchi won’t cook evenly if you put too many in the pot since the water will become colder.
- Add a little water or milk to the dough if it’s too crumbly to help it come together.
- Get things done in advance. You have up to two days to prepare low-carb gnocchi. When doing this, be careful to keep them in an airtight container.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
FRIDGE:
- Gnocchi leftovers should be kept on a big dish or other level surface, covered. Put the gnocchi in a single layer & store it for 2-3 days in the fridge.
FREEZER:
- For up to six months, store the gnocchi in a small container.
REHEAT:
- It’s best to reheat the gnocchi in the pan to avoid separating and cooking the gnocchi evenly. Don’t put them in the microwave.
