Cauliflower Gnocchi Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Roast Cauliflower

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cauliflower into florets, toss with olive oil and a pinch of salt, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden brown.

2. 2

   Make Gnocchi Dough

   Once the cauliflower is roasted, let it cool slightly. In a food processor, blend the cauliflower until smooth. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower puree, egg, flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Shape Gnocchi

   On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes and cut into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

4. 4

   Prepare Basil Cream Sauce

   In a blender, combine basil, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and set aside.

5. 5

   Toast Almonds

   In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the almonds until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

6. 6

   Cook Gnocchi

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain.

7. 7

   Serve

   In a serving dish, combine the gnocchi with basil cream sauce. Top with crispy prosciutto and toasted almonds before serving.
