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.

1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp salt
¾ c flour
Topping
1 Tbsp chopped parsley
2 Tbsp pecorino pepato or romano
1 tsp lemon zest

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.

Take one part and roll into a long, 1″ diameter log. Cut gnocchi into 1″ pieces. You may use your wooden doobie-bopper or 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. Does it taste like a beautiful Italian's luscious lips? Then its done. Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest, parmegiano and parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh ricotta cheese. If you can't find fresh ricotta, you can use whole milk ricotta, but it won't be as light and fluffy.
  • To make the gnocchi, you can use a potato ricer or a fork. If you're using a fork, be sure to press the potato mixture through the tines firmly.
  • When frying the gnocchi, be sure to use a non-stick skillet and cook them over medium heat. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Serve the gnocchi immediately after frying them. They're best when they're hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried lemon ricotta gnocchi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, and the lemon ricotta sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
