2 cups
all purpose flour plus extra for rolling
-
1
egg, beaten
-
1
zucchini, cut in half and sliced
-
2 tablespoons

Directions
-
Combine the diced avocados, egg, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 cup of flour in a bowl. It will be messy at first but slowly add in more flour until a workable dough is formed.
-
Turn the dough out onto a flat surface. Be sure to flour the surface. Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll each one out into a long tube about the size of a hot dog.
-
With a knife, cut each tube of dough into 1 inch pieces.
-
Get a pot of salted water to a boil.
-
When the water is about to boil, get a pan hot over high heat. Add the olive oil and butter to the pan. Saute the slices of cucumber in the pan till just soft.
-
When the water begins to boil, add the gnocchi. They are done when they start floating to the top but be sure to let it sit there for another minute.
-
With a slotted spoon, scoop the gnocchi into a bowl. Add the buttery cucumber to the gnocchi. Grate parmesan cheese into the cucumber gnocchi mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to mix everything together.
-
Serve the gnocchi with a dollop of ricotta, mint leaves, and extra parmesan cheese.
