Ingredients:

• 3 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and divided
• 1 1/4 cup flour, divided
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 cup spinach, chopped
• 1/2 cup cilantro, leaves and stems, plus extra 2 Tbsp. leaves for garnish
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp. chili flakes
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 2-3 Tbsp. water
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Make the Gnocchi:

2. Add 1 avocado into a bowl and mash with the back of a fork until smooth. Add 1 cup of flour and salt and combine until a pliable dough ball forms.
3. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup flour onto a baking sheet (you will put the finished gnocchi there).
4. On a floured surface, roll out dough into a thin log-shape (about the width of your thumb).
5. Chop into nickel-sized pieces (gnocchi) and roll each piece on the back of a floured fork to create ridges on the dough. Place pieces on the baking sheet.
6. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil, as you prepare the sauce.

1. Make the Sauce:

2. Add 2 avocados, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper into a blender or food processer.
3. Blend until it’s a smooth, creamy consistency. Add water as needed for smoother texture.

1. Assemble:

2. Boil gnocchi for 5-6 minutes.
3. Drain gnocchi and add back into pot or serving bowl.
4. Toss gnocchi with sauce. Top with cherry tomatoes and cilantro leaves.
