VIRAL COTTAGE CHEESE MEATBALL GNOCCHI 🍅🌿
I turned the viral hailey bieber cottage cheese meatballs into a one-pan gnocchi dinner and it was so bloody good 🤭 soo easy to make and even easier to clean up. Also a whopping 52g protein per portion!!
Ingredients (serves 3):
1 bag gnocchi
1 jar tomato pasta sauce (I bulk made mine a few weeks - lmk if you want the recipe as it’s super easy, but you could also just use shop bought)
500g chicken mince
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp onion powder
1tsp Italian herbs
1 egg
2 tbsp breadcrumbs or panko
1 tub cottage cheese
Handful fresh basil
Parmesan
Method:
Combine the chicken mince with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, breadcrumbs and one egg then roll into equal meatballs. Fry in a little oil until golden, then add a lid and cook for a further 5 minutes. Then remove from the pan.
To the same pan, add the gnocchi and fry until a little crispy. Then add the tomato pasta sauce and return the meatballs to the pan. Pop a lid on and cook for a further 10 minutes. Add the fresh basil and stir through.
Add the cottage cheese along with lots of Parmesan and some fresh basil leaves and serve. Enjoy!
