Ingredients
Method
- Mix together Ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, and spices.
- Gently add in flour. It will seem like it is not enough. But do not add more.
- Flour a board. Gently roll out a handful of dough on flour to form a 3/4 diameter log. Rolling the dough is only to shape it, not to knead it. Dough will be very soft.
- Cut the log in to 3/4 to 1 inch pieces. Let rest for 30 minutes to overnight. Any extra flour will help add a crust to the gnocchi.
- Bring a pan of water to a gentle boil. Not a rolling boil.While waiting, bring a fry pan to medium heat. Melt butter. Have ready for the cooked gnocchi.
- Add gnocchi to boiling water. They will sink. When they float, they are done. Transfer into hot butter to sear the sides for a crust.
- Serve with spices or topped with sauce.
