Avocado Gnocchi
- 2 avocados, diced
- 2 cups all purpose flour plus extra for rolling
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 zucchini, cut in half and sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 handful mint
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Parmesan cheese
- A dollop of ricotta
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- Combine the diced avocados, egg, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 cup of flour in a bowl. It will be messy at first but slowly add in more flour until a workable dough is formed.
- Turn the dough out onto a flat surface. Be sure to flour the surface. Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each one out into a long tube about the size of a hot dog.
- With a knife, cut each tube of dough into 1 inch pieces.
- Get a pot of salted water to a boil.
- When the water is about to boil, get a pan hot over high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Saute the slices of cucumber in the pan till just soft.
- When the water begins to boil, add the gnocchi. They are done when they start floating to the top but be sure to let it sit there for another minute.
- With a slotted spoon, scoop the gnocchi into a bowl. Add the buttery cucumber to the gnocchi. Grate parmesan cheese into the cucumber gnocchi mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix everything together.
- Serve the gnocchi with a dollop of ricotta, mint leaves, and extra parmesan cheese.
