Quick and easy lunch idea

Ingredients

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!
