Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 lb homemade ricotta or whole milk ricotta squeezed of any excess liquid
  • 2 -3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp plain panko or plain breadcrumbs

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl until the mixture just comes together. Do not over mix.
  2. Put a pot of water on to boil, once it is boiling, salt it like the sea
  3. Make the dough into ping pong sized balls and roll. At this point you can cover with plastic and refrigerate for up to 4-6 hours. You can also at this point freeze them for another time. If you are cooking them now, then add them to the pot in batches as not to overcrowd the pot.
  4. Once they float to the top, cook them for another 2 minutes. This will be about a total of 5-6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a serving bowl and top with marinara or desired sauce and grated Parmesan cheese. ENJOY!
