Sweet Potato Gnocchi

I absolutely love gnocchi but I may love sweet potato gnocchi even more. So sweet and tender, and versatile!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 1/4 cups all-purpose (plain) flour

Roast the potatoes in a 425◦F oven until tender, then continue cooking until it starts to become caramelized. Puree until smooth.
Allow to cool slightly before mixing in the egg and spices, then gradually stir in the flour until it forms a soft dough.
Divide dough into 4 pieces, and roll each out into a long, thin rope on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
Cook the gnocchi in boiling salted water until tender.
