Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi with Sage Butter
Eating gnocchi on the 29th of each month is a tradition in my native Argentina. My mother used to make many kinds of gnocchi: potato gnocchi, ricotta gnocchi, even baked semolina gnocchi. They could be accompanied with sauces such as marinara, bechamel, bolognese, pesto, or a combination. Simple, quick, and delicious. Today I ate half the gnocchi I had made with butter and sage. On the 29th I’ll have the other half with marinara sauce.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- 2
Melt butter in microwave and add crushed sage leaves. Set aside.
- 3
On a flat surface put 2 or 3 paper towels, distribute the ricotta, and cover with 2 or 3 paper towels. Press to extract the moisture until ricotta is reduced to 8 ounces. More paper towels may be necessary. Transfer to a bowl.
- 4
Lightly beat eggs and add to ricotta along with Parmesan cheese, flour, and a generous dash of salt.
- 5
Combine with a rubber spatula. Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide on 4 quarters.
- 6
Take one quarter, roll, cut in half, and keep rolling until the desired girth is reached. Cut into gnocchi.
- 7
If desired, gnocchi can be rolled on a gnocchi board or a fork, but this step is no necessary.
- 8
Place gnocchi on a sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly dusted with flour. At this stage, gnocchi can be frozen and, once completely frozen, stored in a sealed bag.
- 9
Once water boils, put gnocchi in it, carefully stirring a bit to prevent gnocchi from sticking to each other or the bottom. When they come to the surface (3 minutes, or 5 if frozen) remove them and served on plates.
- 10
Drizzle with the sage butter, season with ground black, and sprinkle more Parmesan.
