Description

Cranberry Ricotta Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sauce is a delightful dish that combines the creaminess of ricotta with the tartness of cranberries, all enveloped in a rich brown butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese, well-drained
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh sage leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, flour, egg, salt, chopped cranberries, and nutmeg. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
  2. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for about 1 minute until it is smooth.
  3. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
  4. Use a fork to gently press down on each piece to create ridges, which will help hold the sauce. Place the gnocchi on a floured baking sheet and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
  5. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the boiling water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  6. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the brown butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  8. Serve the gnocchi warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh sage leaves if desired.

Notes

  • For a sweeter twist, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dough.
  • Substitute the cranberries with chopped spinach or kale for a savory version of the gnocchi.
