  2. Mash the chickpeas and pass through a fine sieve to remove the skins. Then mix by hand with the cornstarch and methylcellulose (it will act like the egg yolk).
  3. Form a ball of dough and let it rest in a bowl for 40min. Afterwards, shape and cut the gnocchi, the cook them in boiling water, they will be ready when they start to float.
  4. Drain and sauté in a pan with a little olive oil to brown.

For the cashew ricotta:

  1. Let the cashews soak for 12 hours. Drain and blend in a food processor with a touch of turmeric, a little water, nutricional yeast and salt. The texture should be similar to ricotta. Finish with chopped chives
