A delightful twist on traditional gnocchi, this recipe incorporates sweet corn to create a deliciously creamy and slightly sweet dish that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
- 1 cup ricotta cheese full-fat
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Cook the corn in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, blend the corn until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the ricotta cheese, flour, egg, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the corn. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface and divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 1/2-inch thick.
- Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces. If desired, gently press a fork into each piece to create ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite sauce or simply with butter and herbs.
