This Ricotta Gnocchi recipe belonged to my Father and before that his Mama made them, and before that, well I'm sure she got it from her Mama as well. I loved them so much when I was a kid I used to beg my Dad to make them for me.

They are exactly what you'd expect a ricotta gnocchi to taste like just by looking at them. They are like little pillows melting in your mouth.

The hard part is trying not to eat them as they come out of the boiling water!

You have to use a good quality ricotta so try to make a trip to a specialty store to buy a good one. I used Calabria Ricotta 100% milk fat. There is nothing diet about this food. So LIVE IT up!

Here is a recipe with pictures and step by step instructions!
