Author: Amy Stafford

Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce container of Ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 large egg yolk beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more for water
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese + more for topping
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour + more for hands and dusting baking sheet
  • 1 bottle Vodka Marinara Sauce I used San Marzano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine cheeses, salt & pepper, 1/2 cup of flour and beaten egg and egg yolk. Stir to blend.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust with flour.
  • Dust your hands and pinch dough into roll into 2" balls (estimated)
  • Lay balls on flour dusted baking sheet. Dust balls and roll so that they do not stick to parchment.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil, add a huge pinch of kosher salt and add balls in batches. (I cooked about 12 a batch)
  • Balls will rise to top, but continue cooking for a total of 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove with slotted spoon to serving bowl that is filled with sauce.
  • Toss to coat and serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and parsley
