Loading...With only 5 ingredients, lentil gnocchi is an easy weeknight meal you can prep ahead of time and boil when you’re ready to eat. Lentils are a great source of plant-based protein with double the protein of a serving of quinoa. They also don’t need to be pre-soaked so they’re easy to make on the fly.
Serves 3-4

Ingredients
- 1 cup lentil purée*
- 4 ounces (about ½ cup) soft goat cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup flour plus more as needed
Directions
- To make the lentil puree, combine 1/2 cup of dried lentils with 1 cup of water with a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25-35 minutes, or until lentils are very soft.
- Add one cup of lentils to a food processor or high-powered blender and add the goat cheese, rosemary and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour lentil mixture into a bowl and fold in ¾ cup of flour with a spatula, being careful not to overmix. Add additional flour if needed, a tablespoon at a time, until dough is tacky, but manageable.
- Roll handfuls of dough between your palms to create long, thin tubes. Cut into approximately 1-inch pieces.
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Boil the gnocchi, a few handfuls at a time, until the gnocchi float to the surface. Drain.
- To finish: sauté the gnocchi in a little olive oil over medium heat.
