Recipe Review - Ricotta Gnocchi - vegetarian book (pg:87)
« on: March 01, 2010, 01:11:53 am »
I found this very easy and  I liked the texture too.
I used the larger ingredient amount as suggested:
600g ricotta & 300g bakers flour.
It was enough for 2 adults and 2 children.

Excellent Maddy.  Nonna would be impressed.  Haven't tried this recipe.  I had troubles with the potato gnocchi, but ricotta will hopefully be more forgiving.

How long did it take to make the batch?

They look lovely Maddy. I've ever only made the potato ones, I'll have to try the ricotta ones.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Shame the TM couldn't roll the dough  into little balls as well!  ;)
Probably took a good 30 minutes shaping them, but I figure the whole process of mixing and kneadining in 1 minute....justifies the rolling time  ;D

I haven't made the potato ones yet, but I was more than  happy with the texture of the ricotta ones.

Thx Maddy  - it would be great - maybe they need to include a nonna with every TMX to help roll them  ;)

 ;D Me too!

I've never been particularly fond of potato gnocchi, so will definitely try the ricotta one. Thanks for the review.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I 'discovered' some pumpkin gnocchi in the freezer and used them on a potato pie instead of the potato. I put some pesto over it and yum.

Cookie....did you make the pumpkin ones in the TM?
Could you pretty-please share your recipe?
I can imagine them with extra roasted pumpkin in a sage sauce  :P

Wow, they look good maddy. Did you boil them in water or steamed with the varoma?

Hi Tebasile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil  and add the gnocchi.  Once they float to the top, they're cooked (about 5 minutes).  I tend to gently stir them whilst coming to the boil.
