Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon lemon zest (use a microplane grater, plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (plus extra reserved for garnishing)
1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh chili pepper (or red pepper flakes)
2 tablespoons clarified butter (or just regular butter, but the clarified butter works much better)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine ricotta, parmagiano, yolk, zest and salt in large bowl. Mix well. Sprinkle half of the flour on the mixture, gently turn with spatula a few times to incorporate. Dump mixture on clean, lightly floured countertop. Sprinkle remaining flour on top of the mixture. Gently knead with your fingertips, just bringing together the mixture until flour is incorporated through. This only should take a minute or two. Any longer and you will be over-kneading. *If you are using skim milk ricotta - you may have to use more flour, as there is more water content in skim ricotta.
  • Divide dough into 4 parts. Take one part and roll into a long, 1″ diameter log. Cut gnocchi into 1″ pieces. You may use the tines of a fork to get those pretty grooves that will eventually disappear after frying anyways.
  • Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil. when butter is just lightly browned, add gnocchi in single layer. Fry on one side for 2 minutes, flip. Add chilli. Fry other side for 1-2 minutes. Timing really depends on how big/thick your gnocchi is. Do a taste test - do you taste flour? Not done yet. Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest, parmegiano and parsley.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit tricky to get the gnocchi right.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I loved this recipe! The lemon and herbs really balanced out the flavor of the ricotta.

This recipe was a disaster! The gnocchi was gummy and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The gnocchi was a little too soft for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try cooking the gnocchi for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the gnocchi turned out great! I used a store-bought ricotta cheese, and it still tasted delicious.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The gnocchi is light and fluffy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful.
