Lentil Gnocchi
Prep Time 35 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
- 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup lentil purée
- 4 ounces goat cheese, soft (about ½ cup)
- 1/2 tsp rosemary, dried
- 1/2 tsp salt, sea, fine
- 3/4 cup flour, plus more as needed
Instructions
- To make the lentil puree, combine 1/2 cup of dried lentils with 1 cup of water with a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25-35 minutes, or until lentils are very soft.
- Add one cup of lentils to a food processor or high-powered blender and add the goat cheese, rosemary and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour lentil mixture into a bowl and fold in ¾ cup of flour with a spatula, being careful not to over mix. Add additional flour if needed, a tablespoon at a time, until dough is tacky, but manageable.
- Roll handfuls of dough between your palms to create long, thin tubes. Cut into approximately 1-inch pieces.
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Boil the gnocchi, a few handfuls at a time, until the gnocchi float to the surface. Drain.
- To finish: sauté the gnocchi in a little olive oil over medium heat.

I loved this recipe!!! I used a cream cheese instead of the goat cheese because I am not a fan of goat cheese. I used almond flour as a stand in too and when I boiled it, it all came apart:(…So I used egg to bind it, and had to kind of “fry” it. I think, next time, I will attempt to boil it with the egg and see if it comes out different??? Thanks for the recipe and I would rate it as a medium difficulty level lol….for me, at least! 🙂
