This homemade ricotta gnocchi offers a lighter, quicker alternative to the traditional potato-based version. By using creamy whole-milk ricotta and fragrant nutmeg, these delicate dumplings achieve a soft, pillowy texture that melts in the mouth. When paired with a nutty, golden-brown butter and fresh rosemary, the result is a sophisticated vegetarian main course that brings the authentic flavours of an Italian trattoria to your kitchen table.
Perfect for a weekend lunch or a midweek treat, this recipe is surprisingly simple for beginners. Because the dough requires no heavy kneading, it remains tender and airy. Serve these elegant gnocchi with a generous dusting of Parmigiano-Reggiano and a crisp green salad to balance the rich, savoury notes of the brown butter sauce.

Ingredients for Ricotta Gnocchi
475ml whole-milk ricotta (450g )
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
350ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (90g), divided
1/4 teaspoons grated nutmeg
160g plain flour
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 (2-inch) rosemary sprig
How to make Ricotta Gnocchi
Stir together ricotta, eggs, 120g cheese, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper. Add flour, stirring to form a soft, wet dough.
Shape dough on a well-floured surface with lightly floured hands into 2 (1-inch-thick) ropes. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces with a lightly floured knife. Put in 1 layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cook gnocchi in 2 batches in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 5.7L 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.
Meanwhile, cook butter with rosemary in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Toss gnocchi with brown butter in skillet and sprinkle with remaining 60g cheese. Season with salt.
