Ingredients
Salt
2 cups ricotta cheese, drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Marinara Sauce
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, olive oil, eggs and 1 teaspoon salt with a whisk in a large mixing bowl. Add the all-purpose flour in 3 parts, stirring with a rubber spatula. Bring the dough together in a ball and cut off one-quarter of it. Dust the work surface with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking, and roll the cut-off piece of dough into a dowel shape about 5/8 inch in diameter. Cut the dowel into 5/8-inch pieces. Repeat with the rest of the dough, quarter by quarter. Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Serve tossed with a bit of the marinara sauce.
