Whole-Wheat Potato Gnocchi with Super-Fast Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tomato Sauce:

  • 1 large can (28oz) Italian plum tomatoes
  • 56 leaves of fresh basil
  • 1 large clove of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste

For the Gnocchi:

  • 4 small potatoes
  • 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flower
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of sea salt

      Instructions

      For the Tomato Sauce:

      In a pan, heat garlic in olive oil. Add pureed tomato sauce and let it simmer for 30 minutes on medium heat.

      For the Gnocchi:

      Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and add to pot. Cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool and mash with a fork or potato masher.

      Soak chia seeds in 1/2 cup of water for about 5 minutes. Drain.

      Combine mashed potato, flour, water, and soaked chia seeds in a large bowl. Knead until dough forms a ball. Shape small portions of the dough into long “snakes”. On a floured surface, cut snakes into one-inch pieces. Fold.

      Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3-5 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; drain and add to sauce. Stir until gnocchi are well-coated with sauce. Bon appétit!
