WHOLE WHEAT RICOTTA GNOCCHI
A variation of my Ricotta Gnocchi ( #170293) without the sauce. I love these cheesy little gnocchi! Soo easy to make and yummy to eat. The marks made by the fork on each gnocchi makes them pretty and allows the gnocchi to pick up more sauce.

Steps:
- In a wire strainer press any excess moisture out of the ricotta.
- In a bowl, lightly beat the egg, add ricotta, and parmesan cheese. Slowly add in the 1 cup of flour, 1/3 cup at a time. Only add as much flour as you need to create a workable dough. This may be a little less than 1 cup to a bit more than 1 cup. (About 1 tbsp less than 1 cup worked perfectly for me) .
- Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces, and with your hands roll each piece of dough into long logs as thick as your thumb; Cut into 1 inch slices. With a fork, press down on each gnocchi so you can see groves on each gnocchi, then gently re-shape it if it got a bit squished.
- Gently place gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the dough in this manner; If not using immediately, place in the refrigerator.
- To cook the gnocchi, drop into lightly salted water and remove as soon as they float to the top, after 1 or 2 minutes. Scoop out of water with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your favourite sauce!

RICOTTA GNOCCHI
This recipe was passed down to me from my great aunt, it is easy, authentic and delicious! The secret to making these gnocchi is to dry the ingredients as much as you can before using. Let the ricotta drain of excess water by placing it in a strainer over a bowl and leaving it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using.

Steps:
- Stir together the ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan Cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl until evenly combined. Mix in 1 cup of flour. Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, and roll into 1/2-inch-thick ropes on a floured surface. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces, and place on a lightly floured baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in shredded basil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Boil the gnocchi until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes, then drain.
- To assemble the dish, stir the cubed mozzarella cheese into the sauce and allow the heat of the sauce to soften, but not melt the cheese. Place gnocchi into a serving bowl, and spoon sauce overtop.
