  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes or until tender.

  3. 3

    Allow sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then remove the skins and mash the flesh in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Add flour, egg, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix to form a dough.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a long rope, cutting into small gnocchi pieces.

  6. 6

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi in batches until they float, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  8. 8

    Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, seasoning with salt, pepper, and juice of half a lemon.

  9. 9

    Toss the cooked gnocchi with the spinach mixture in the skillet, adjust seasoning with pepper and additional lemon juice as needed before serving.
