Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Put a large pot of salted water on to boil
- Steam cauliflower according to package directions, then pureed in a blender. This should produce 1 cup of pureed cauliflower. Note: Frozen Cauliflower is lumpy stuff so it’s hard to get an even cup. It’s totally expected that the cauliflower will peek out above the top of your measuring cup!
- Combine the warm cauliflower puree with the cassava flour to make a dough. Note: ¾ cup will produce a more delicate dough to roll out but the pillowy-est gnocchi. 1 Cup will make the dough easier to roll out and produce a little milder cauliflower taste, but firmer gnocchi.
- Knead with your hands until they dough is fully incorporated and makes a large soft dough ball.
- Break off pieces the size of a clementine and form into a ball.
- Take the ball and with the palms of your hands roll out on your countertop until it produces a log about ½” in diameter.
- Cut the dough into 1” long pieces.
- Once all the dough is rolled out and cut, drop them into the boiling water in batches. The gnocchi will float to the top when done. Remove and drain. Either combine with your favorite sauce or give it a light pan fry with your favorite cooking oil or butter. Or both!
