Greek Yogurt Whole Wheat Gnocchi

Gnocchi is a type of Italian pasta dumplings that's normally made by combining cooked potatoes with flour and egg until you get a pillow-y dough. Lesser known though is ricotta gnocchi, which replaces the potatoes with ricotta cheese, shortening the cooking time and leading to a fluffy gnocchi. What's definitely not known is Greek yogurt gnocchi, which I'm just making up now. By straining Greek yogurt to use as our gnocchi base, we're essentially making labneh cheese for a high protein, lower carb gnocchi. Additionally, I'm swapping the refined white flour for whole wheat flour for additional fiber, vitamins, and minerals

Step 1

Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Add the yogurt to the strainer, and mix in salt with a silicone spatula. Place the strainer over the bowl into the fridge, and allow it to drain (uncovered) for about 24 hours. I ended up with about 715 g of strained yogurt

Step 2

Add the strained yogurt to a large bowl. Beat in an egg, and mix in the grated cheese with a silicone spatula, making sure everything is fully combined without lumps before adding the flour

Step 3

Add in the flour, and mix with a silicone spatula until you can't incorporate any more with the spatula, and then finish kneading together with your hands. You should have a slightly sticky dough with the flour fully incorporated

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a clean work surface. In batches, roll into a long and thin rope, and cut into 1" sized pieces

Step 5

Optionally, roll each gnocchi on the back of a fork to make the ridges

Step 6

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place in the gnocchi, and boil for about 3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a strainer, and serve with any sauce you desire
