Gnocchi with Ricotta Cheese

---

---

CREAMY Gnocchi with Ricotta Cheese is a very comforting hearty meal. You can make the gnocchi fresh yourself or buy store bought package potato gnocchi. either on works fine though fresh is always better.

Once the gravy is made you can either blend the ricotta into the gravy or mix the gnocchi with the gravy the spoon in the ricotta. I like the latter because you get nice big chunks of ricotta.

The extra flavor in this Gnocchi with Ricotta Cheese when you melt the mozzarella cheese on top. It's so delicious. Make sure you serve it with bread and wine.
