[Sca-cooks] gnocchi

[Stefan li Rous]

Gianotta asked:
> Today's gnocchi do not contain any leavening -- although "gnocchi"
> today mean the frozen kind that contain potato flour. But a friend of
> mine makes gnocchi with flour, ricotta, and egg -- and no baking
> powder. They're dropped into a pot of boiling water, drained, and
> served with sauce. The flour, cheese, and egg recipe someone else cited
> earlier could also seem to be period gnocchi.
>
> So, is there a period ricotta-cheese-based gnocchi recipe out there?
