Ricotta Gnocchi

This is a very easy and versatile dish. I also make this and bake it in the oven with a cheesy sauce, a version of macaroni cheese!

Using a slotted spoon gently place the gnocchi pieces into a pan of gently boiling water. 6. The gnocchis will rise when they are cooked, remove using the slotted spoon. You can gently toss the gnocchi into a falvoured butter sauce such as sage, lemon & thyme or chive & scallion.

I had to add quite a bit more flour than it called for to get the dough to be workable. The noodles were a bit dense and grainy, so I had a failure. Any tips?
