HOMEMADE RICOTTA GNOCCHI WITH FRESH HERBS
Ricotta gnocchi are the weeknight answer to homemade pasta. Just mix together ricotta, eggs, basil, mint and Parmesan until a workable dough forms. Then roll it into logs, cut into bite-sized pieces and boil for a minute or two. Tossed with an herby tomato sauce and finished with fresh herbs and Parmesan, this is the perfect dinner for chilly fall evenings.

Steps:
- Line a plate with a clean kitchen towel or a layer of 2 to 3 paper towels. Spread the the ricotta on the towel in a thin, even layer with a rubber spatula; this will help remove any excess moisture from the ricotta. Fold the edges of the towel over the ricotta, lightly press down and set aside to drain, about 15 minutes.
- Finely chop 1/2 cup of the basil leaves and 1/2 cup of the mint leaves, reserving the remaining leaves for garnish.
- In a large bowl, mix the chopped basil and mint, drained ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, 1/4 cup of the chives, 2 teaspoons salt and a healthy crack of black pepper with a rubber spatula until smooth and well-combined. Add the flour in 4 parts (1/4 cup at a time), delicately folding with the spatula between each addition to make sure the gnocchi dough remains light and fluffy.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust with flour. Set aside.
- Dust a clean counter or cutting board with flour. Scoop the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface, dust with more flour and use your hands to form into a thick ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch-long and 1/2-inch-thick snake. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces and place on the prepared baking sheet until ready to cook.
- In a large skillet, bring the tomato sauce to a simmer over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low to keep warm.
- Season the boiling water heavily with salt. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the gnocchi directly to the sauce using a slotted spoon or spider, add 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and delicately toss together until warmed through, taking care to not break the gnocchi.
- To plate, divide the gnocchi and sauce among 6 shallow bowls and top with Parmesan, the reserved basil and mint, the remaining 1/4 cup chives and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
RICOTTA GNOCCHI
This recipe was passed down to me from my great aunt, it is easy, authentic and delicious! The secret to making these gnocchi is to dry the ingredients as much as you can before using. Let the ricotta drain of excess water by placing it in a strainer over a bowl and leaving it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.

Steps:
- Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, and roll into 1/2-inch-thick ropes on a floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces, and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in shredded basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.
- To assemble the dish, stir the cubed mozzarella cheese into the sauce and allow the heat of the sauce to soften, but not melt the cheese. Place gnocchi into a serving bowl, and spoon sauce overtop.

RICOTTA CHEESE GNOCCHI
You think you know what gnocchi are: small, fork-tine-indented potato dumplings served with pesto or tomato sauce. They're starchy, thick and filling, and rarely made well enough at home to justify the work. But gnocchi don't have to be only that. "Gnocco" translates literally as "lump" (nice, huh?) and is a colloquial word for dumpling; gnocchi can be made out of semolina, cornmeal, spinach, even bread crumbs. One of my favorites: ricotta gnocchi, which is just as authentic as its potato relative, but lighter in texture and much easier to make.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Combine the ricotta, eggs and Parmesan in a large bowl, along with some salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup flour and stir; add more flour until the mixture forms a very sticky dough. Scoop up a spoonful of dough and boil it to make sure it will hold its shape; if it does not, stir in a bit more flour.
- Put the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it melts and turns a nutty brown color, add the sage. While it fries, drop the ricotta mixture by the rounded tablespoon into the boiling water, working in batches of six or so at a time so as not to overload the pot.
- When the gnocchi rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the skillet. When all the gnocchi are done, toss, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place the ricotta in a large bowl and stir in the Parmesan, egg, parsley, thyme, tarragon and salt and pepper. Stir in the flour. Begin to knead the mixture in the bowl with your hands until it holds together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, with lightly floured hands, gently knead the dough until smooth and well blended, working in more flour if it is too sticky.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll 1 piece out to a rope about 1/2an inch in diameter. Using a knife, cut the rope into 3/4-inch segments. Hold a fork upright on your work surface with the tines curved toward you. Gently roll 1 segment of dough against the tines to mark it lightly with ridges. Transfer to a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat until all the dough is used. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to cook. The gnocchi will keep, refrigerated, for 1 day.
- To cook the gnocchi, bring a large pot 1/4 full of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and stir once very gently. Cook until the gnocchi float, then for 1 minute more (about 4 minutes total). Immediately drain, toss with olive oil and serve as desired.

- Tie a length of thin kitchen twine tightly across a two-handled large saucepan. Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the ricotta with the egg and Parmigiano until smooth; scrape down the side of the bowl as necessary. Add the flour and 11/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and pulse until just incorporated.
- Scrape the gnocchi dough into a large, sturdy resealable plastic bag; press the dough into 1 corner of the bag to remove as much air as possible, then snip off the corner to make a 1/2- to 3/4-inch opening.
- Using steady pressure and carefully working over the pot of simmering water, pipe one-third of the gnocchi dough into 3/4-inch lengths, using the twine to cut the gnocchi into the saucepan. Simmer until the gnocchi rise to the surface, then continue simmering until the gnocchi are plump and cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the gnocchi to a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 batches of dough.
