Gnocchi

Make a circle of flour on a board. Place 1 lb Ricotta in center of circle. Work Ricotta into flour with fingers until all Ricotta is absorbed and dough is soft and pliable. Cut off small pieces of dough and roll to one and one half inch lengths. Let them rest while water boils. When the water boils, add gnocchi a few at a time and they are cooked as soon as they surface. Should be scooped out with slotted spoon, drained and put in a warm serving dish.
