Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower Gnocchi:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Zest of 1 orange

Orange Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • Additional grated Parmesan and fresh orange zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Gnocchi: Steam cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture, then pulse in a food processor until smooth. Mix in flour, Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, and orange zest to form a dough.
  2. Shape and Cook Gnocchi: Roll dough into ropes, cut into pieces, and create ridges with a fork. Boil in salted water until they float to the surface.
  3. Make the Orange Sauce: Sauté cooked gnocchi in butter and oil until golden. Add orange juice and sage, toss gently to coat.
  4. Serve: Garnish with Parmesan and orange zest before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, consider adding cream or toasted walnuts.
  • Zest the orange just before serving for the best flavor.
