Instructions

1. Steam cauliflower florets for 10 minutes until tender.  Set aside to cool.
2. Drain excess liquid, then using a ricer or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
3. In a large bowl, mash the cauliflower well, then combine with cheese, flour, salt, and egg and mix until a dough begins to form.  Using a food processor makes this easier to manage.
4. Dust a clean work surface with a generous amount of flour, then roll the dough into a log.
5. Cut the log into two sections.
6. Roll each section into a rope about 1" in diameter.
7. Cut into small pieces 1" to 1 1/2" wide.
8. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi for 3-4 minutes then drain.
9. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat, then add in the gnocchi and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly, until golden.
10. Mix in chopped thyme and lemon zest.
11. Serve with additional Parmesan shredded on top.
