Gluten Free Gnocchi! 

Recently, a Facebook contact posted about making a rapid fire meal of gnocchi with sage butter… it sounded so good!! I have to admit, I’m not sure I’ve ever had gnocchi and I’m positive I never prepared it, but it sounded so good that I started researching how to make it! A million variations.. egg, no egg.. potatoes baked or boiled, potatoes flakes, sweet rice flour… honestly some of the recipes sounded more like a chemistry lab! I decided to go with EASY! Potatoes and gluten free flour and that’s it baby!


Gluten Free Gnocchi

6 organic medium organic potatoes

2 cups  gluten free flour

Pinch of granulated garlic

Pinch of dried sage


Boil potatoes for 35 mins

Place in ice bath and peel

Place in mixer and mix

Add all other ingredients and mix until smooth dough formed

Turn out into floured surface 


And slice into portions

Roll each into an 1″ tube and slice into 1″ segments, press lightly with a fork and get ready.. because you’re almost done!!


Remember.. I’m cooking for 6… and they are good eaters. You may be able to half or even quarter the recipe!

Salt water and bring to a boil 

Add the gnocchi to the water and boil until it floats up and you scoop them out with a slotted spoon!

Serve immediately, or add to sauce, toss lightly  and serve!

I followed the suggestion of the butter Sage sauce.. it was so good!

1/2 cup butter melted

1 clove garlic minced

Salt and pepper

4 sage leaves finely snipped

Simmer and then toss with Gnocchi and top with Parmesan cheese


Enjoy! ❤️
