Gnocchi is an Italian dish traditionally made with potato. I used sweet potatoes as they are healthier.
The first time I made sweet potato gnocchi was for the first potluck of the Eat Local Challenge in April and it was a hit! Everyone loved it including two Italian guests who complimented the flavour and authenticity. I was elated!
This time, I tried making it eggless and changed it up a bit for better binding. They held together beautifully when boiled and were soft and fluffy inside.
They are very easy to make and much healthier than flour pasta. I boiled them and added them to an Alfredo sauce. They can also be sautéed in brown butter, enjoyed with sautéed vegetables or pesto.
