Gluten Free Ricotta Gnocchi

Ingredients

500g fresh ricotta
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus a little extra to serve
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp salt
1 cup potato flour, plus extra if required (can also use rice flour but may be a bit gritty, or cornflour but won't need as much).
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 punnets cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn

Method

Place ricotta in a fine sieve over a bowl for 30 minutes to drain off any excess liquid. Place drained ricotta in a bowl with grated cheese, eggs and salt. Add flour and mix to form a dough. Add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky and wet. Be careful not to overwork.
Divide dough into quarters and gently roll into two-centimetre-diameter logs on a lightly floured surface. Cut into two-centimetre pieces and gently place on a lightly floured tray. Press down with back of a fork to make indents in each gnocchi. Continue with remaining dough.
To make the sauce, heat oil, add garlic and cook for a few minutes over medium heat. Add tomatoes and basil, cook until hot, then reduce to low and simmer for eight minutes.
To cook gnocchi, drop into a saucepan of simmering, lightly salted water and remove as soon as they float to the top, after one or two minutes. Place in a warmed bowl, top with some tomato sauce and gently mix. Serve with a little extra parmesan.

Yummo!

Can also be used with bolognese or any other type of sauce you like.
