3

Add a spoon of ricotta cheese, a little salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.

Sieve flour over the potato mixture to avoid lumps.

Whisk one egg and add it to the mixture, making a well in the center.

6

Mix the ingredients to form a soft, pliable dough, adding thyme flowers for flavor.

Flour your hands and knead the dough gently until smooth, adding a little flour if it gets too wet.

8

Cut the dough ball in half and roll each half into a long cylinder.

9

Flour a knife and cut the dough into bite-sized pieces, shaping them with your finger to look like pillows.

10

Bring water to a boil in a pot and add a little olive oil.

11

Lightly flour your hands and drop the gnocchi into the boiling water, stirring to prevent sticking.

Let the gnocchi simmer until they float to the top, indicating they are cooked.
