🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Use 1 pound of ricotta cheese, preferably from Bellweather Farms.

Add 1 egg, salt, and black pepper to the ricotta.

Add a pinch of nutmeg and blend everything in a food processor until completely smooth.

Gradually add all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and has a stiff batter-like consistency.

Wrap the mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare the sauce by sautéing morel mushrooms in olive oil with garlic, then add vegetable stock and English peas until tender.

Use two teaspoons to scoop out portions of the gnocchi mixture and transfer them into boiling salted water, forming oval dumplings.

Cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 3 minutes, then transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process.

Once cooled, you can either reserve the gnocchi or add them directly to the prepared sauce.

In a sauté pan, combine the gnocchi with a ladle of the sauce, add cheese if desired, and stir in fresh herbs before serving.
