Quick & Easy Homemade Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi

Place ricotta in a sieve over a bowl and drain excess liquid for about 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained ricotta, Parmesan, egg, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Gradually add flour, stirring to form a soft, sticky dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute until it forms a ball.

Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a 20-inch-long rope (diameter should be about 1 inch).

Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form gnocchi.

Press each gnocchi lightly with the back of a fork (optional) to create ridges.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add gnocchi (in batches if needed) and cook until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a warm dish and drizzle with a sauce of your choice.

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
