Instructions

Place your thawed, squeezed dried riced cauliflower into a food processor and add remaining ingredients.
Pulse until combined well and it forms like a dough, and pulls away from the sides of the processor.
Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Wet fingers and form a 15 inch long log. Cut the log in half lengthwise so the width of the dough is 1/2 inch.
Cut 1 inch pieces from the log, you should be able to make 24 gnocchi. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Using the back side of a fork, roll over the gnocchi to see the fork lines. Freeze for 1 hour or until ready to use.
When ready to cook, heat a medium sized skillet with olive oil and garlic.
From freezer, place no more than 12 gnocchi into the hot skillet.
Saute just 2 minutes or until browned on each side and heated through. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. For a variation you can also heat low carb marinara in a sauce pan and cook the gnocchi in the sauce until heated through.
Keep gnocchi frozen in an airtight container or ziploc bag until ready to use.
