Gnocchi (Cravings- Chrissy Tiegen)

Ingredients:
1 lb sweet potato
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp pepper
1tsp salt
3/4 cup flour

Directions:

1. Peel and slice the sweet potato. Boil until well cooked.
2. Mash it up in a medium bowl until smooth.
3. Add ricotta, pepper, and salt and then scatter flour into the mixture. Mix with a fork until a doughy mixture forms that's loose and shaggy that doesn't stick to the bowl. If necessary, add more flour 1 tbsp. at a time.
4. In a large pasta pot, boil 1 gallon of salted water.
5. Flour your work surface and dump the dough onto it. Kneed by folding in half and pressing gently in the middle turning it 90 degrees each time.
6. Sprinkle flour when needed, but the less flour, the more tender each gnocchi will be.
7. Divide dough into 3 even pieces and roll them into balls.
8. On a floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12 inch x 1 inch log and cut the dough crosswise to 12 x 1 inch pieces.
9. Drop into boiling water and mix to ensure they're not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cook until it floats.

**you want it to be the consistency of cookie dough, but not too sticky.
