Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 Cups 00 Flour
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tin Chopped tomato
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 2 Eggs
  • 50 g Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Basil Fresh

Instructions
 

  • Combine the 250g tub of Ricotta cheese, the nutmeg, the eggs and the Parmesan Cheese to form a paste.
  • Slowly add the flour until a soft dough forms.
  • Roll into a ball and leave the dough to one side. (30 minutes is best but we don't often wait)
  • In the skillet pan add the olive oil, tin of tomatoes, the puree, the sugar and with the lid off let simmer on a very low heat.
  • Take the ball of dough and on a lightly floured tray cut it into 8 even portions.
  • Roll each portion of dough into long cylindrical strips.
  • Cut the strips into 2cm pillows.
  • Using the back of a fork and placing each pillow cut side down, using your thumb roll the pillows off the fork. This will leave you with a small dumpling with ridges and a curl. This does take practice but any old shape still works with the recipe :)
  • place the dumplings into the sauce and simmer with the lid on for 7-10 minutes.
  • Serve with some fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
