Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ricotta cheese, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add more flour one tablespoon at a time until it is manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Using a knife, cut each rope into 1-inch pieces. To create the classic gnocchi shape, roll each piece off the back of a fork to create ridges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Boil until the gnocchi float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the cream sauce.
Season the sauce with freshly grated nutmeg, black pepper, and additional salt to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the gnocchi warm.
