Directions:

  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, olive oil, salt and Antica spice blend

  • Using a rubber spatula fold the ricotta and parmesan cheese into the egg mixture

  • Fold the flour into the dough until well incorporated

  • Turn the dough out of the bowl and wrap tightly in cling film, refrigerate dough for two hours or better yet overnight

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil

  • Working on a floured surface divide the dough into three equal parts

  • Using both hands roll each portion of dough into a long rope about ½ inch thick

  • Cut the dumplings into ½ inch long pieces and place onto a large well floured plate

  • When all of your gnocchi are rolled and cut gently slide them from the plate into the boiling water, you may need to work in 2 or 3 batches

  • When the first gnocchi begin to float gently stir the pot, cook until remaining gnocchi float, remove from the pot with a kitchen spider or slotted spoon

  • Transfer the gnocchi to a baking sheet and lightly coat with extra virgin olive oil

  • At this point the gnocchi can be tossed with your favorite sauce and served or refrigerated for future use
