Fluffy Ricotta Gnocchi

Ingredients:

(Serves 4 people)

1 1/2 cups (325g) fresh ricotta

1/2 cup (65g) grated parmigiano

1 egg

1 teaspoon (5g) salt

1 cup (120g) all purpose flour

Cracked black pepper to taste

Method:

1. Add parmigiano, ricotta, eggs, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Mix until incorporated.

2. Add flour to the mixture and mix until smooth with no clumps.

3. Rest the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge.

4. Divide dough into 6 pieces and roll into ropes depending on how big you want them.

5. Line 3 ropes parallel, dust generously with flour, and cut using a bench scraper or chefs knife into pieces.

6. Repeat with other ropes and toss gnocchi in the flour until fully coated. They should look like marshmallows.

7. Either freeze or cook fresh.

8. In salted simmering water, add gnocchi and stir gently. After the first few gnocchi float to the top, strain or add to a sauce and serve immediately.
