Ingredients
4 Servings
- 1 egg
- 120 grams flour
- 60 grams parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 450 grams ricotta cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Drain the ricotta cheese in a fine-mesh strainer for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.

In a large bowl, combine the drained ricotta, egg, Parmesan cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead until it comes together.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Step 5
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
Step 6
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish. Serve with your favorite sauce.
