*A recipe adapted by Marc Esteban Garcia from Summer ‘09 Tea Magazine.  He is an aspiring cook and one of our tea loving customers. *

2 cups all purpose flour

2 cups ricotta cheese

1 ½ Tbsp. Matcha green tea powder

2 eggs

Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and blend into a large ball.  Transfer onto floured surface and knead slightly, adding more flour if the dough is to sticky.

Form cigar sized strands, ½ inch wide, and cut into 1 inch segments, pressing each onto a fork with your thumb.

Drop into boiling water, scooping them up and remove them when they float to the top.

Enjoy these gnocchi’s with spinach and mushrooms and your favorite sauce.
