Ingredients
  • 1 pound white sweet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • a pinch of nutmeg
  • black pepper
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Bake or boil sweet potatoes (whole, with skin) until tender. Let cool, peel and mash (you will get about 1 cup mash).
  2. Add the ricotta cheese, egg yolk, salt, nutmeg and pepper and mix well.
  3. Add flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, to create a soft but workable dough.
  4. Roll part of the dough into a 1-inch roll on a lightly floured counter. Cut the roll into 1-inch pieces.
  5. Do the same with the rest of the dough.
  6. Cook gnocchi in a large pot of salted water until they rise to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon.
