Women are supposedly notoriously easy to shop for, that is, unless you have a wife, mom, sister, or friend who has everything. Here are a few great ideas to help you check the special ladies in your life off your shopping list!

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 cup ricotta
  

• 3 each whole eggs (mixed)

• ¼ cup parmesan

• ¼ cup heavy cream

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Add flour to a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center. Place all other ingredients in the center of the flour. Gently fold the flour into the center until all the ingredients are combined. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky. 

2. Cover with cling film and rest for 30 min.

3. Cut the dough into smaller manageable pieces (about 6 oz each). Then, using both hands, roll each piece into long strips about the thickness of your pinky.

4. Dust these with flour and cut them into ½ inch segments. 

5. Once cut, toss the dumplings with a bit of flour, so they don’t stick together. At this stage, you can freeze and save for a later date or cook for same-day use.

6. To cook the gnocchi, bring a pot of salted water (at a ratio of approximately 2 oz salt to 1 gallon of water) to a boil. Then, carefully add the dumplings to the water. 
7. Stir gently for 30 seconds using a rubber spatula so as not to crush the dumplings. 
8. As the dumplings rise to the top, skim them off into a bowl, toss them with olive oil (canola is fine), and place them on a tray to cool.

Putting It All Together

1. Carefully remove short ribs from the braising pan. 

2. Strain the liquid from the braising pan into a pot, combine it with your gnocchi, and put it on medium heat. 

3. The vegetables left in the strainer can be reserved with the short ribs. 

4. Season the gnocchi to taste with salt. Spoon the gnocchi into your serving dish, top with the short rib and vegetables, and finish with freshly grated parmesan.

Enjoy!
