There are many ways to prepare low carb gnocchi in which potatoes or flour are obviously not used. This version is one of my favourites, very simple and the gnocchi are so tasty that a little butter and sage and a sprinkling of Parmesan as a condiment are enough to have an excellent, complete and satisfying dish, especially when the temperature starts to drop.
