Napa Dave's Ricotta Gnocchi De Milano is a classic Italian dish that originated from the Lombardy region of Italy. It is a simple and rustic dish that was traditionally made with potatoes instead of ricotta cheese. The dough is mixed with flour and shaped into small pieces that are then boiled and served with various sauces. In this recipe, we use ricotta cheese instead of potatoes to make the gnocchi softer and lighter. They are boiled briefly and then served with melted butter and grated cheese, making Napa Dave's Ricotta Gnocchi De Milano a comforting and satisfying meal that everyone can enjoy.

Instructions

1.In a food processor, grind the bread into fine crumbs.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until well blended.
3.Add the bread crumbs and flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft and sticky dough forms.
4.Dust your hands with flour and divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
5.On a floured surface, roll each part into a 1-inch-wide rope.
6.Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
7.Press each ball gently with a fork to flatten and create ridges.
8.Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top.
9.Drain the gnocchi and add them to a skillet with melted butter.
10.Sprinkle grated asiago cheese over the gnocchi and serve warm.
