As you probably noticed in the full episode, we did not abstain from gluten in this meal, as the bread and cookies contained all-purpose wheat flour. So, why did I choose to make this recipe gluten-free? Scroll down or click here to learn more.

Ingredients:
- 4 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups tapioca flour
- 2 medium – large sweet potatoes, cooked
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
Yield:
- This recipe makes 10-12 entree-sized servings
- Please note: you can divide this recipe in half for a smaller batch.

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in a stand mixer.
Flour your work station and dump the pasta out onto it.
Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it is no longer sticky and comes together in a large ball.
Add more almond and tapioca flour as needed in a 4:1 ratio.
Once the dough is ready, let sit for about 10-15 minutes.
Roll out a piece of dough into logs that are 1/2 inch in diameter.
Cut the log into 1-inch pieces.
Use a gnocchi paddle or fork to roll the gnocchi across to get ridges.
Repeat until all the dough is done.
As you make the pasta, lay it on a baking sheet pan to dry out overnight.
When you are ready to cook, bring a stock pot of water to a boil.
Drop 5-6 gnocchi into the water.
After they float to the top, use a slotted spoon to receive the gnocchi.
Drop cooked pasta onto a heat-resistant pan or dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Toss cooked gnocchi with olive oil to prevent sticking until you’re ready to add sauce and eat.
Repeat until all of the gnocchi are cooked.
Top with veggie fortified sauce.
Enjoy!

Why Gluten-Free?

Do you NEED to eat gluten-free? NOPE! Discuss your dietary choices and which eating style is right for you with your healthcare provider.
I like this recipe! I made this recipe in 2019 for the gluten-free episode of my TV show and fell in love with the sweet, subtly nutty flavor. I have made them a few times since and always receive compliments.
The color is pretty! Swab in purple potatoes for another fun variety!
I thought those who need to eat a GF diet would appreciate the inclusion of this recipe.
It can be fun to add variety into my dietary choices. And we eat a lot of white potatoes in our house.
I knew this was a version of gnocchi Pete and Cug were not familiar with, so I thought it would be a fun talking point in the episode.
