Gnocchi di ricotta are
gnocchi, small soft dumplings, made with
ricotta cheese and
flour, rather than
potatoes and
flour. Most
gnocchi are made with potatoes, and if no other information is present, one should assume potato gnocchi are what is meant.
Gnocchi di ricotta are related to
gnudi, which are also made with
ricotta, but have even less flour.
