Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8oz) low fat or full fat ricotta
- 1 extra large egg
- 1 extra large egg yolk
- 50 g (1.8oz) freshly fine grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 35g to 47g white rice flour (½ to ¾ cup)
- ⅓ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- unsalted butter and/or olive oil for browning and sauce
- sage leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Drain the ricotta of all liquid and then add to a mixing bowl along with the whole egg, yolk, parmesan and salt.
- Mix with a fork or your hands until well combined.
- Add in ½ cup of flour - mix with a fork or your hands. Test by forming a small dumpling - if it holds its shape, then there is enough flour. If not, slowly add a bit more.
- Once you have added enough flour, add in the nutmeg if using and mix in well.
- Now, make all the dumplings in your preferred size using your hands to shape and mould together. Place on an oiled plate to prevent sticking.
- Fill a large saucepan to ¾ full with water and then bring to a boil.
- Now place all the dumplings in the boiling water. After about 30 seconds, gently stir with a wooden spoon to prevent any sticking together.
- The gnocchi are done once they start floating for 30 seconds - usually in around 4 minutes. Sometimes they don't float all that much, so just use the time guide instead.
- Drain the gnocchi, then brown them in a pan with butter and/or olive oil until lightly golden on each side. You can also crisp up some sage leaves at the same time in the pan.
- Serve immediately with crispy fried sage leaves, grated parmesan and the butter/oil.
Notes
Ricotta should be the type bought from the deli section of the supermarket, not from the refigerator shelves
