Sweet Potato Gnocchi

1: Stab the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave for 8-9 minutes.

2: Once finished, peel off the skin and add the sweet potatoes to a ricer or mash with a fork.

3: Place the potatoes into a bowl and add flour and salt.

4: Mix together with a spatula or use your hands until a dough forms.

5: Knead the dough, adding additional flour for dusting.

6: Create one big ball of dough and add it to a cutting board with flour.

7: Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into long rope shapes.

8: Cut your gnocchi into about 1-inch pieces.

9: Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 7 minutes (they will float to the top when done).

10: Once finished, add the cooked gnocchi to a sauté pan with butter over medium/high heat to slightly brown it, then toss in your alfredo.

11: For the cottage cheese alfredo, blend the cottage cheese, grated parmesan, and garlic powder in a blender until fully smooth. Add milk to thin it out if desired.

12: Top with additional pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
