Recipe Sweet Potato Gnocchi (Pasta)

Required Ingredients:

• 2 (8 ounce) sweet potatoes
• 1 clove garlic, pressed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparing/Cooking:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake sweet potatoes for 30 minutes, or until soft to the touch.
• Remove from the oven, and set aside to cool.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to work with, remove the peels, and mash them, or press them through a ricer into a large bowl.
• Blend in the garlic, salt, nutmeg and egg.
• Mix in the flour a little at a time until you have a soft dough.
• Use more or less flour as needed.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• While you wait for the water, make the gnocchi.
• On a floured surface, roll the dough out in several long snakes, and cut into 1- inch sections.
• Drop the pieces into the boiling water, and allow them to cook until they float to the surface.
• Remove the floating pieces with a slotted spoon, and keep warm in a serving dish.
• Serve with butter or cream sauce.
