Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, mix the drained ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
• Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
• Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together into a smooth ball.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal sections. Roll each section into a long rope about 0.5-inch thick.
• Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, roll each piece over the tines of a fork or a gnocchi board to create ridges.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches.
• Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
