Sweet Potato Gnocchi (pasta)

Sweet Potato Gnocchi (pasta)

3 sweet potatoes

3 cups flour

3 tbs water

splash of olive oil

dash of salt

Peel three sweet potatoes, chop up into large pieces, put in a microwavable bowl with 3 tbs water and cook until soft. Using same dish, mash the potatoes until smooth.

Boil a pot of water and add a splash of olive oil and a dash of salt.

On a flat surface mix in flour with mashed sweet potatoes. I would start with 2 cups and add until it's the consistency of pasta dough. Roll out or flatten and break into little pieces. **I flattened with my hands and then used a pizza cutter to make into pieces and then shaped each with my hands. 

When the water is boiling in the pot drop in the gnocci when they rise to the top they are cooked. It doesn't take long for them to cook. Toss with sauce or herbs to your liking.

**I made a sweet drizzle:  Blood Orange Fustini's Olive Oil,  organic un-sulfured black strap molasses, honey, and cinnamon. 

**Another option for a dipping sauce or drizzling flavor, if I had it, would be using White Truffle Oil. That would be amazing!
