Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Drain the ricotta cheese to remove excess liquid.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained ricotta cheese and flour. Use a ratio of approximately 1 cup of ricotta to 1.5 cup of flour, adjusting as needed to achieve a workable dough.
- 3
Gently knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
- 4
Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into long logs, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
- 5
Using a knife or dough scraper, cut the logs into 1-inch pieces.
- 6
If desired, roll each piece over a pasta board or the back of a fork to create ridges, which help the sauce cling to the gnocchi.
- 7
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.
- 8
Toss the cooked gnocchi with a simple tomato sauce and serve immediately. Buon Appetito!
