PRAWN AND RICOTTA GNOCCHI RECIPE

PRAWN AND RICOTTA GNOCCHI RECIPE

Comforting without being too heavy, our easy gnocchi recipe combines the sweetness of prawn meat with ricotta, almonds, Parmesan and the decadent touch of browned butter. Delicious as a starter or main, the flavours of this ricotta gnocchi are beautifully enhanced with both our Culinaria Pinot Noir Chardonnay as well as its lighter cousin, our Classic Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

400 g ricotta

300 g prawn meat, chopped fine

70 g flour

1 egg

100 g butter

100 g Parmesan

100 g chopped almonds

2 tbsp chopped parsley

Using a teaspoon, spoon the mixture into your hands and roll into small oval balls.
