RICOTTA GNOCCHI

My 1st recipe is RICOTTA GNOCCHI, my mother makes this many times during the year. a very comforting dish. You can frozen spinach, if you wish. as for the sauce , you can use a basic homemade tomato sauce, meat sauce or a béchamel sauce with grumbled blue cheese on top.

500gr. ricotta 
1 egg 
1 3/4 cup flour
salt to taste

Drain water from the cheese. In a medium bowl add ricotta and mash with a fork. Add egg and salt, keep mixing. Then slowly add flour until consistency is not too sticky and knead on a floured table. Take a piece of dough & roll into a medium size bread stick. With a knife cut 1inch pieces of the dough. Flour a fork and start to roll each piece of dough at the end of the fork. You need to make marking from the fork and a little dip from your index finger. Add gnocchi onto a kitchen towel.

Boil water and salt, add gnocchi carefully, once the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot, drain and add sauce.
