Step 1

Place four paper towels on a large plate and spread the ricotta on the paper towels and an even layer. Place another layer of four paper towels on top of the ricotta. Press down gently to let the excess moisture soak into the paper towels. Transfer the drained ricotta to a medium Bowl.

Step 2

Add the eggs, parmesan cheese and salt to the bowl with the ricotta. Add the flour, half a cup at a time, stirring with a rubber spatula.

Step 3

Mix until just combined and you form a ball. Do not over need, otherwise it will be tough. The dough should be sticky. If you need to add more flour, add one tablespoon at a time

Step 4

Place the dough on a clean flower surface. Cut into eight equal pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll and stretch the dough until it forms a long skinny rope, about 1 in thick. Cut about 1 inch wide no heat and then transfer to a baking sheet, make sure each gnocchi is covered in flowers so they don't stick together

Step 5

Preheat oven to 400°. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the gnocchi until they float, what should be about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and toss with some olive oil so they don't stick

Step 6

Transfer no key to a casserole dish and toss with marinara sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese. Cook for 10 minutes and then turn Broiler on for 2 minutes to finish Browning cheese. Serve immediately
