Italian

Ricotta gnocchi, a beloved Italian dish, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Originating in the northern regions of Italy, this pillowy pasta is made with ricotta cheese, flour, and eggs, creating a light and delicate texture. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized this dish in their restaurants, showcasing its versatility and comforting flavors. Today, the best versions of ricotta gnocchi can be found in authentic Italian trattorias in regions like Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. The key to perfecting this dish lies in achieving the ideal balance of ricotta and flour, resulting in tender, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate spinach or herbs into the dough, adding a vibrant pop of color and flavor. Whether served with a classic tomato sauce or a sage-infused brown butter, ricotta gnocchi continues to be a timeless favorite in Italian cuisine.
