2-Ingredient Ricotta Gnocchi

Directions

1. 1

   Drain the ricotta cheese to remove excess liquid.

2. 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. 3

   Gently knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into long logs, about 1/2 inch in diameter.

5. 5

   Using a knife or dough scraper, cut the logs into 1-inch pieces.

6. 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. 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. 8

   Toss the cooked gnocchi with a simple tomato sauce and serve immediately. Buon Appetito!
