Homemade Ricotta Gnocchi
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups good quality ricotta cheese (homemade if you’re really feeling ambitious)
  • 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.
  2. While the water is heating up, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, flour and salt in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. I had to add a little water in here too as my homemade ricotta was drier than what you get commercially.
  3. Lightly flour your hands and roll out the dough into thin sausages about ¼″ thick. Be careful not to add too much flour on your hands or the surface of the counter as this will make the gnocchi tough.
  4. Cut gnocchi with a sharp knife into pieces about ¾˝ long.
  5. Drop into boiling water and cook for a minute, or until they float to the surface.
  6. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place in serving bowls.
  7. Top with sauce of your choice (shown here with some of my homemade marinara).
