Step-by-Step Instructions for Bean Gnocchi
- Begin by draining and rinsing a can of white beans. Use a fork or a food processor to mash the beans until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. This creamy bean mixture is the heart of your Healthy White Bean Gnocchi.
- In the bowl with mashed beans, add all-purpose flour, an egg, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms, adjusting the flour as necessary.
- Roll the dough into a log about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch pieces, creating little gnocchi pillows.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the water in batches. Cook them until they float to the surface, then let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
- Serve it hot with your favorite sauce, drizzling with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkling fresh herbs on top.

Notes
For optimal results, ensure the white beans are well-drained. Sautéing adds flavor, but you can skip it for a softer texture.
