Ingredients

  • large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1.3 cups flour all-purpose
  • 0.3 teaspoon nutmeg grated
  • ounces parmesan divided grated
  • sprig rosemary (2-inch)
  • pound whole-milk ricotta cheese 
  • 0.5 stick butter unsalted

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • knife
  • pot
  • slotted spoon
  • colander

Directions

  1. Stir together ricotta, eggs, 1 cup cheese, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  2. Add flour, stirring to form a soft, wet dough.
  3. Shape dough on a well-floured surface with lightly floured hands into 2 (1-inch-thick) ropes.
  4. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces with a lightly floured knife. Put in 1 layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. 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.
  6. Meanwhile, cook butter with rosemary in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  7. Toss gnocchi with brown butter in skillet and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt.
