Gnocchi

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Gnocchi Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Flour

    Gradually add the flour to the ricotta mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

  3. 3

    Shape the Gnocchi

    On a floured surface, divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 1/2 inch thick and cut into 1-inch pieces. Use a fork to create ridges on one side.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

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