Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi: Method
- Prepare the gnocchi dough by placing the ricotta, egg, 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons of Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg in a bowl. Mix well. Adjust the consistency with a few tablespoons of flour.
- In a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and add a crushed garlic clove. As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle, add the Mutti Pasta Sauce with Basil. Season with salt, sprinkle with pepper, and cook for 5 minutes.
- Bring water to a boil, add salt and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (this helps prevent the gnocchi from sticking together).
- Using two spoons, shape the gnocchi dough into small quenelles and drop them directly into the water.
- Once they float to the surface, drain them and transfer them to the pan with the Mutti Pasta Sauce with Basil.
- Toss with a tablespoon of grated Parmesan and serve hot.
