Ingredients - Serves 4
- Sage leaves - 10
- Butter - 2 tablespoons
- Nutmeg - A pinch
- Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour - 1 to 1 1/2 cups

Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the flour, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is browned.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the butter and sage. Toss to coat.
- Serve the gnocchi hot, with extra Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
