2 cups (16 oz) whole-milk ricotta
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3 oz), divided
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
water for boiling
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3 oz), divided
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
water for boiling
Stir together ricotta, eggs, 1 cup cheese, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Add flour, stirring to form a soft, wet dough.
Add flour, stirring to form a soft, wet dough.
Shape dough on a well-floured surface with lightly floured hands into 2 (1-inch-thick) ropes. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces with a lightly floured knife. Run each piece over the back side tines of a fork to create grooves. Put in 1 layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cook gnocchi in 2 batches in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water), adding a few at a time to pot and stirring occasionally, until cooked through (cut one in half to check), 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain in colander.
To serve this gnocchi, I tossed it with a light marinara sauce and garnished with fresh basil.
