Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've been working lately on two things: saving money and not wasting food. The side effect of these endeavors is that I am getting much more inventive in the kitchen . So today I discovered in my fridge a container of ricotta cheese I had forgotten to put into my enchiladas last week. I wanted to use it up without going to the grocery store again so I searched the web for inspiration and came up with an idea: ricotta gnocchi. Here is what I did: Ingredients: 3/4 cup brown rice flour (you could use whole wheat or others) 1 cup whole milk ricotta 1/4 cup grated swiss cheese (you could use parmesan) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 egg yolk 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons salted butter (if you have unsalted, just add a couple shakes of salt in the first step of the recipe 1) in a large bowl mix the ricotta, the yolk, the grated cheese and tomato paste 2) fold in half of the flour 3) place the dough on a well floured surface and knead in the rest of the flour until its just incorporated 4) split the dough into fours and roll each one out until it's about 1 inch in circumference. Cut off pieces of dough in 1 inch segments. 5) add oil and butter to a frying pan and heat until butter starts to brown. Add dough pieces, brown for 2 minutes, and turn over browning the other side. I served this over kale with tomato sauce on top and it was heavenly! Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.
