A traditional Florentine pasta, ricotta gnocchi is the lighter version of northern Italy’s potato gnocchi—made even healthier by substituting grain-free flours for the traditional all-purpose flour. This gnocchi cooks up as soft, mild-flavored dumplings. They are delicious with any type of sauce you’d usually serve on pasta but I recommend sautéing them with spinach, tomatoes and feta! If you’ve never made…

My Low-Carb Cauliflower Mac-N-Cheese is the perfect way to get all the traditional flavors of macaroni and cheese, only chock-full of healthy cauliflower instead of pasta.
