Gnocchi Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Ricotta
In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese and stir until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a better texture.

Combine Ingredients
Add the egg, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper to the ricotta mixture. Mix well until combined.

Incorporate Flour
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the gnocchi light.

Shape the Gnocchi
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick, then cut into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

Create the Gnocchi Shape
To shape the gnocchi, use a fork to gently press down on each piece, creating ridges that will help hold the sauce.

Cook the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches, cooking until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Remove them with a slotted spoon.
