Directions
Place ricotta in colander to drain. Transfer to medium bowl and add remaining ingredients except flour. Mix well. Gradually add flour, working it in until a soft yet firm ball is formed, about 3 minutes.
Divide dough into 4 equal parts. On a generously floured surface, roll each section into a log, about 1 inch in diameter and 9 inches long. Cut logs into 1-inch segments and slightly indent each with a fork. Thoroughly cover with flour and store in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
Bring large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi to pot and stir gently to prevent sticking. When gnocchi float to top, they are cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes. (Frozen gnocchi will take a little longer to cook.) Drain well and serve with your favorite sauce.
