Our method is to use a tub of ricotta, then fill the tub with the same amount of flour, one egg yolk for small tub (two for larger one), pinch of salt. We also use rubbed sage in our browned butter. (Zingara)
This is all you do Piggykins .
Buy a tub of Ricotta (does not matter either small or large),
Empty it into a bowl
Refill the empty ricotta container with an equal amount of flour.
That's it. Equal parts of Ricotta to equal part flour,
Add 1-2 egg yolks only (no whites) until dough feels like soft play doh
(start with 1 egg yolk only add second if needed). and 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon salt .
Form into "ropes" 1/2 to 3/4 inch diameter.
Cut ropes into 1/2-1 inch slices and boil a few at a time until the Gnocchi floats to the top.then Let boil 30-60 seconds more.
Drain Gnocchi in strainer.
Serve buttered or with desired sauce.
