Gnocchi Ingredients
Method
Gnocchi Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, flour, egg, salt, nutmeg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- 2
Knead Gently
Dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until it holds together but is still soft. Do not over-knead.

Shape the Gnocchi
Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about ½ inch thick. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.

Create Indentations
Using a fork or your finger, gently press down on each piece of gnocchi to create ridges. This helps the sauce cling better.

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