Print Recipe

A simple yet elegant sweet potato gnocchi recipe that bursts with flavor and comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (500g) sweet potatoes, roughly 2 medium
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 oz (50g) chorizo, casing removed and diced (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 sprig of rosemary, stem removed
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salt
  • Parmesan cheese, grated, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke holes in the sweet potatoes and wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast for about 45 minutes or until soft.
  2. Peel the cooled sweet potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Mix in the ricotta, olive oil, parmesan, salt, and nutmeg until combined.
  3. Add the flour gradually, stirring until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface just until it comes together.
  5. Divide the dough into sections, roll into ropes, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  6. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, drop in the gnocchi, and cook until they float.
  7. Add melted butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary to a skillet over medium heat, and cook until fragrant.
  8. Toss the cooked gnocchi in the skillet with the butter mixture, sautéing for a few minutes to combine.

Notes

Feel free to freeze gnocchi for later use. They make a delightful meal any day of the week.
