Ricotta gnocchi

Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 250 g ricotta
  • 180 g flour
  • 40 g Parmesan
  • 1 egg(s)
  • some salt and pepper
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Put all the ingredients in a bowl, mix and knead into a dough. Form into finger-thick rolls, cut into small pieces and flour. Spread them out on a floured kitchen towel. If you have the time and inclination, you can give them the right look and shape by using a knife to cut them into the traditional gnocchi shape. To do this, place each piece on the back of a fork or other grooved object, press down with the back of a knife and roll it. This takes a bit of practice and patience, but it looks really good when you do it! Using the kitchen towel, add the finished gnocchi to boiling salted water, stir briefly (so they don’t stick to the bottom) and wait until they rise to the surface – then they are done. A simple tomato sauce goes best with them.
