• 0.5 t nutmeg
• 2.75 C flour
• 16 T butter
• 6 T chopped fresh sage

Instructions

1. bake sweet potatoes in microwaves for about 5 minutes per side
2. cut, cool, and mash
3. mix 3 C of potatoes with ricotta
4. blend parmesean, brown sugar, 2 t salt, and nutmeg
5. mix in flour until a soft dough forms
6. gnocchi them, and boil them in salted water

Notes

Amber recommends freezing the rolled gnocchi, to make them easier to handle.
