Ingredients
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
1/2 cup ricotta
1 clove garlic, minced or chopped
2 T. grated Parmasan
1 egg
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
About 3 cups flour (375 g.)
Directions
1. Steam or cook the sweet potatoes so they're soft and cooked through (I find it easiest to microwave by poking a few holes in the sweet potato, wrapping in plastic wrap, and popping in the microwave for 4 minutes on each side)
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, garlic, egg, parmasan, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar and stir until well blended.
3. When sweet potatoes are ready, scoop the flesh into the ricotta mix and blend
4. Add flour 1/2 a cup at a time until it forms a soft dough; cut into 6 pieces
5. Roll each piece into a long snake that's about 1/2 an inch tall, then cut out 1 inch pieces
6. Boil in lightly salted boiling water for about 6 minutes; drain and serve with your favorite pasta toppings!
I was about to write something daft and all scandalized, like "Gnocchi without potatoes?! You must be nuts!" Then I realized and now I'm bowled over. Can't wait to try these out! Am I right to think you're the inventor of all these concoctions?
