Hey friends!
Spring is finally approaching and I could not be more ready. New England winters drag. As much as I am grateful to have the four seasons, winter is by far the longest as the snow seems to come before AND after winter. But March is an exciting month for me because its means Spring is right around the corner, and my birthday is approaching.
We had a snowstorm over the weekend so I decided to tackle something I have been wanting to make for a while, Sweet Potato Gnocchi. I’m not sure why the thought of making my own gnocchi was so intimidating to me, because this was super easy. It was so easy, I could make them with 30 minutes and 2 wild children running around cooped up in the house.
If you decide to make these, be SURE to use Otto’s Cassava flour. Some of the other Cassava flours that I have used smell and taste stale and come out gritty in recipes.
After they’re done, top with any sauce your heart desires. I made a simple lemon-garlic-butter sauce and put them on top of some sauteed spinach and kale for mine.
