Cooking Instructions
- To prepare the grated zucchini, mix it with salt and allow it to drain in a colander for 20 minutes.
- Place the zucchini in a tea towel and squeeze out as much of the liquid as possible.
- Mix the zucchini, basil, lemon, ricotta, egg yolks and Pecorino cheese, then add half the flour to form a dough that is not too sticky to work with.
- Add more flour if needed.
- Divide the dough and roll the two halves in the rest of the flour, creating two 2 1/2 cm thick rolls.
- Slice the rolls into 2 1/2 cm wide pieces then gently create ridges in them either with a gnocchi board or using a floured fork.
- Cook the gnocchi in boiling water until it floats. Remove and drain.
- Toss the gnocchi in a bowl with the butter, basil leaves and pine nuts.
- Serve warm with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
