Ingredients
- 500 g ricotta
- 2 eggs
- 200 g grated mozzarella
- ½ cup parsley, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- 1¼ cups plain flour

Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat together ricotta and eggs.
- Add the mozzarella, parsley and garlic to the ricotta, along with the salt, parmesan and flour. Mix well.
- When the water is simmering, drop in teaspoons of ricotta mixture. Simmer until they float to the surface, then remove with a slotted spoon. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Place a large pan over medium heat and melt butter and oil. Fry the gnocchi in batches until golden on each side.
- Serve hot with parmesan, or in your favourite pasta sauce.
