The Dish: Copia Restaurant -- Ricotta Gnocchi with Tomato and Basil

GNOCCHI
1 cup of ricotta
1 cup of AP flour
1 egg yolk
2 tsp salt and Pepper

Mix together the ricotta, flour and egg yolk until it forms a playdough-like consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the gnocchi heavy. Cut the dough into four pieces. Roll the individual dough pieces with your hands to form a long log about of an inch thick and 10 inches long. Cut them with a knife about half- inch thick. Roll the small pieces into balls and roll over a fork. Slowly put gnocchi into bowling water. (These can be made ahead and stored in a freezer.)
