Gnocchi Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi Dough

    In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour.

  2. 2

    Shape the Gnocchi

    Dust a clean surface with flour. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a log about 1 inch thick. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on each piece.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a skillet, heat EVOO over medium heat. Add DOP Datterini tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add fresh basil and stir.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat. Serve warm, topped with burrata and grated Reggiano cheese.
