Ingredients

  • 15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese
  • 3/4 to 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced serrano pepper
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix ricotta, egg, Parmesan, Pecorino, 3/4 cup flour, curry powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir until a soft dough forms. Add more flour as needed if sticky. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide dough and roll into 3/4-inch thick logs. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place on a floured baking sheet.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil. Let butter melt and brown slightly until nutty in aroma.
  4. Add gnocchi in a single layer (in batches if needed). Cook 2 minutes on one side until golden, then flip.
  5. Add minced serrano pepper and lime zest. Cook another 1–2 minutes until gnocchi are crisp and cooked through.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust heat by adding more red pepper flakes or chili powder.
  • Use cilantro instead of parsley for a different herbal touch.
  • Add extra butter for a richer sauce.
  • Pairs well with sautéed greens or a fresh salad.
  • Freeze uncooked gnocchi for quick future meals.
