Method
- Toss kumara and garlic in oil and then arrange on oven tray. Bake in a moderate oven, 180oC, for 30 mins or until tender but not brown. Cool.
- Place cooled kumara and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Add pureed kumara, flours and salt to a medium bowl. Mix well until it's a soft dough.
- Divide dough into thirds. Roll each third into 2cm wide rolls on a floured surface. Cut each roll into 2cm lengths. Repeat until all dough is done.
- Place cut gnocchi onto floured trays and indent with a fork.
- Bring a medium size pot of water on to boil. When boiling gently add 10-15 pieces of gnocchi at a time. When all the pieces of gnocchi have risen to the surface this means they are cooked. Remove and drain.
- Serve immediately with your favourite pasta sauce.
