Keto Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi

This spinach ricotta gnocchi recipe has no flour and consists of mainly spinach and ricotta cheese.  It is an easy low carb recipe to make and takes little effort too.

This is a no flour, low carb, gluten free dish that is baked. Traditionally gnocchi is cooked in boiling water but this is an easy recipe to make in the oven.  

How to Make Keto Spinach Ricotta Gnocchi

The recipe here uses fresh spinach, but you could also use frozen spinach.  Just make sure that all the water is squeezed out of the spinach as you want the gnocchi shapes to hold together. If your spinach is too wet the shapes will spread when baked.

If you want to ensure even shapes, then roll the mixture into balls and bake in a mini muffin tin.

The beauty about this spinach ricotta gnocchi is how easy it is to make.  You could always make the gnocchi ahead, store the in the fridge and bake when ready to eat.  The only problem you will have is do you eat them by themselves with a sprinkling of cheese or serve them with a sauce.

Naked Ravioli

This dish is also known as naked ravioli because the gnocchi are essentially  mounds of ravioli filling.  I love amusing food facts!

I've listed the portion sizes as serves 4  as it would if you were serving this as a light lunch or appetiser.   Half of the recipe is a decent portion for a hearty dinner.  Although the Chief Taster would have scoffed the lot had I not wanted some for dinner the last time I made this.

What to serve with keto gnocchi

These are a great meal in themselves with a serving of low carb marinara sauce but you could happily enjoy them by themselves with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
