2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Gnocchi

I must start this off by saying, I LOVE pasta.
It's my go to dish. Always.

Buuut, since I've had to go dairy free while nursing my son, I've only found a couple brands that I can have & they are pricey. I'm also trying to cut my grocery budget down. So, that doesn't work for me.

Solution: Gnocchi. 

You only need two ingredients. Both of which are in your pantry.
If they aren't, we need to go over pantry staples.

Sweet potatoes. Or regular potatoes. And flour.



 To serve 4 people, I used 3 medium sweet potatoes & about 1.5 cups of flour.
The amount of flour will most likely be different each time, it all depends on how much moisture is in your potatoes,




There are two ways to cook your potatoes for this recipe.
You can bake them or you can microwave them. 
DO NOT BOIL.

After they are cooked & cool enough to work with, peel the skin off.
Then, mash it all up in a medium mixing bowl.
Add in some flour, starting at 1/2 a cup. 
Knead until a soft dough forms, adding more flour as needed.

Prince McDrool loves sweet potatoes. 

Roll dough into a thin rope & slice.


(They don't have to be pretty. They're delicious anyway.)

Heat a pot of heavily salted water on medium high until it boils.
Drop 8-10 pieces in at a time. When they are fully cooked, they will float.
Drain & serve (:

Enjoy!
