Leftover Polenta Gnocchi

This leftover polenta gnocchi is simple to make and the best way to fight food waste by using your leftover polenta!

📝 Ingredients

• 10 1/2 ounces polenta (cooked)
• 1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano
• 4-5 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a food processor or blender combine the polenta, yolk, flour, salt and parmesan cheese to form a dough. Can also be made by hand, place the flour on a flat board, make a well in the middle and add the remaining ingredients, combine with your hands to form a dough.
2. 2Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and cut small amounts of dough to form ropes and cut into ¾ inch (2 cm) pieces, then slide each piece on a fork and squeeze a little (but not too hard). Sprinkle with a little bit of flour and toss, so they don't stick together. Let the gnocchi rest for 20 minutes before cooking.
3. 3Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of boiling salted water, when they float to the top they are done. Toss with your favourite sauce. Enjoy!
4. 4I served the gnocchi two ways one with mushrooms and one with a traditional polenta sauce.
