• 2 eggs
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 tomatoes
• 2 cloves of garlic

Instructions

1. 1 In a bowl, mix the ricotta, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Then gradually add the flour and knead into a dough.
2. 2 Roll pieces of the dough into small balls and flatten them with a fork to form the gnocchi.
