Steps

  1. In a bowl, place the ricotta and mash it well with a fork. Mix it with the egg and salt. Optionally, add a little grated nutmeg.

  2. Into the ricotta mixture, first mix in the grated Parmesan with a spoon, then add the flour. Once the ingredients are combined and form a dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut it into several smaller pieces.

Advice

If you want to freeze the gnocchi, place them on a tray, board, or plate and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer them to a bag. Cook the gnocchi in salted water. When they float to the surface, cook them for another 1-2 minutes, then remove them from the pot.
