Ricotta Gnocchi
Ingredients
- 1 cup of ricotta
- 1 egg
- 5 to 8 tbls flour (depends on the consistency of the ricotta)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch of nutmeg
- salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
-
To make the gnocchi combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. (if using firm ricotta - blend beforehand) The dough should be quite sticky
-
Dip a teaspoon in hot water and use it to shape the dough into several olive-sized gnocchi. Re-dip the spoon each time so dough does not stick
-
Heat a saucepan of water. When boiling poach the gnocchi for 30 - 40 seconds and remove from water with slotted spoon. They are done when they float to the surface
-
Eat immediately with a little olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt
Recipe Notes
I served this with a simple fresh tomato sauce. I added two chopped tomatoes with a sprinkle of oregano and some water to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened
