Ricotta gnocchi is one of the easiest homemade pasta dishes. It takes 10 minutes or so, start to finish (OK, longer including the sauce).

The coronavirus has hit many folks hard, including first responders and hospital workers, individuals and families who were already food insecure, and service industry employees who are, for the large part, currently out of a job.
My goal is to help fix both these problems in the best way I know how to contribute: organizing people, and cooking food.

These boxes go directly to the frontline workers and food insecure families who have been hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. They also allow me to hire back my kitchen team to cook and pack these meals (in a safe, clean way). So far we have served nearly 500 meals, and the number goes up every week.

Science teacher here:
You described what's called a 'cartesian diver.' There's a super-easy way to make one of these that I do in class:
Get a handful of ketchup packets. Drop them in a bowl of water. You're looking for one that barely floats. They all vary slightly, so some might bob like corks, and the others just sink, these won't work. You want the one that slowly rises to the top if you push it down.
Put the packet into an empty 2-liter soda bottle. Fill the bottle all the way to the top with water. If you leave any air space at the top, it makes it much more difficult to see the effect. Then just put the lid on tightly and squeeze away.
Some variations are to put multiple ketchup packets with varying densities. They will drop to the bottom -- one at a time as you squeeze. Also, some packets of honey I've found have a transparent side. These usually just sink but the students can actually see the bubble inside shrink and grow as they apply pressure.
Neat!
Bruh this ain’t 4 level foods food scientist
@@milky836 Kenji literally wrote a book called the food lab my dude...
You can make a reverse diver bottle if you 1. Use a square bottle (mouthwash bottle will work), and 2. Put the water in hot. (Not boiling. You'll melt the plastic)
who the fuck asked, Larry?
If this video has taught me anything, its to dry the ricotta with a cloth instead of paper towel.

@@brianueltschy3415 you really need to stop

@@brianueltschy3415 at least you acknowledged it
LOL!
When he opened the cabinet without removing the spoon...I felt that. Never forget.
? I'm new.
@@NorthS1deSold1er the cabinet he keeps his dishes in was broken for a long time and one door would open up on it's own so he had a spoon across the two handles keeping it closed and he would have to slide the spoon out of the way every time he went for the cabinet.
He would do it in a very smooth professional way and it became a bit of a meme. They fixed the cabinets very recently and he showed it off in a few videos in response to the meme.
@@TomBombadil7 awwww. Ty for the information.
Somebody called us, the Lid Police? Seems there was a lid to a container that was dropped and not picked up.
😆
I really want to see what kinds of hats the Lid Police wear.
@@deadfr0g u'd be surprised, but its lids
Officer I would also like to add that he not just dropped the lid; he dropped it on his little dog :(
He stepped on the lid : 20:07
Good Video Police Here:
This is a good video, well done.
i would have liked this but ur a 69 likes and it just feels wrong
Internet chef: 'you're doing that wrong'
Pro chef: 'yeah, don't care'
Also, every Italian commenter on a pasta video who act like their nonna's never once argued with each other about the one true method to make X pasta dish
@@lindocalrissian0926 the difference for me is, that in this video the sauce isn't advertised as "super original marinara", which stirrs up discussion (and correctly so, I think).
Something I really like about Kenji is that he has a very solid base of wisdom and experience, and is using that to mention other ways of doing things, including pros/cons. Alot of other yt-chefs are too cocky/lazy/insecure/whatever to do that.
Another great episode in the “I don’t only eat carbs and cheese” series
Kenji, I really appreciate the fact that you do these videos in real time. Knowing the recipe and showing us the recipe is one thing, but doing it in real time really gives me hope that I might be able to approach this successfully as well. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it as quickly as you because I would have to keep looking at the recipe but these really nice quick recipes that you are showing us are great!
P T I watched this a couple times and just pulled it off no problem tonight. The real time is key, so easy to follow!
After you practice, you’ll be able to make it in real time from memory. Once you can do that, your confidence will soar. Just keep practicing!
The trouble with cooking is if you fuck up, you don’t have food, which makes you hangry. If you’re cooking a new dish, always have a backup plan.
And with no carefully prepared mise en place or other steps. The divided attention, moment to moment decision making, hunting down ingredients, prepping for the next step, etc. So much of this reminds me of how I would be cooking it in my own kitchen.
Is it me, or is Kenji kind of like the Bob Ross of cooking? "Doesn't need to be precise," explains, encourages, has AMAZING (f'amazing) recipes. Great stuff. Thank you, sir!
Kenji, my dude, you gotta stop reading the comments. You're a food wizard. It's one thing to give constructive criticism, but you can't let nit pickers get to you.
Yeah he always says he doesn't care but I feel like he does, which he shouldn't tbh. fuck these haters
@@inkboy12345who said what
You addressed this comment to Kenji. We’re you hoping he’d read it? 😏
No whey! You can use butter milk? This never o-curd to me.
I throughly enjoyed these puns
Yes, dairy good puns. I lact them too.
I liked the joke, although it was cheesy
Not enough cheese, Kenji.
- sincerely the cheese police
Too much cheese.
-Sincerely, the Federal Bureau of Cheese Control.
p.s. Federal law overrides state law.
p.p.s. Thats why I am criminal, I could never have enough cheese.
You aren't policing aggressively enough

It’s made of ricotta!!!

It's things like the zoom in at 9:39 that make my day 😂

Your pronounciation of Spätzle after you said you gonna get it one day was acutually on point
I made these gnocchi just now and they were so easy and so delicious. I love that these videos are in real time and that you cook like a human, so if you goof you just carry on. Thanks so much.

love this recipe! I think the term "Ricotta" is legally protected in Europe, so we don't have the issue with stabilizers and similar cheats in our cheese.

he's so bashful
Jamón is my favorite. I wish I knew what kind of pup he is.
@@Mryuckus88 kenji said he is an Ori-Pei in another video
Lunis11 thanks!
Thanks kenji for making these videos! I look forward to seeing them everyday!
Screw the haters Kenji. We love you.
This has always been one of our favorite Serious Eats recipes! The only pasta I’ll attempt to make at home
It's always so much cooler when a true genius is so super down to Earth and real at every moment. Kenji is that personified.
Dude thank you for beings so awesome, i love your kitchen i love your food and cooking and freshness i love how wholesome your household is and i love and that you for being a great father legit i look up to you and how you life your life. Simple happy.
Hey Kenji,
This video is 20:56 and therefore not actually a 20 minute dinner.

Timing officer -
Well, if you look closely, he finishes the dish at 20:00 on the dot with the pepper and the remaining minute is just tasting... So I'll need you to drop all charges please.

Glanced at your older recipes I hadn’t attempted. This one was especially good! Had it been on any other chefs instructions I wouldn’t have had the confidence to give it a go. Thank YOU kenji for making things digestible for the home chef. God bless you and your family!
Kenji: Years ago you made my Thanksgiving better (I always spatchcock turkeys and chicken now, even if I am smoking the bird) and SeriousEats is always a first stop for recipes. Now all of these videos are making me an even better home chef for sure. I made homemade ricotta today so I can make this tomorrow for my wife for Mother's Day. Thanks so much for all of the info and help! Making videos takes a lot of effort and I love the "real-time" nature of your vids.
Love your influx of videos and minimal editing! Thank you x100
Paper Towel police here. Too many paper towels were used.
John Doe cheesecloth would be great.
Kenji: "Dinner in two minutes!"
Everyone else who DOESN'T work in food service: "Dinner's... almost done! _Almost!"_
I appreciate the filming method! It was fun spinning and whirling around the kitchen with you. Your style is familiar. Can’t wait to try the recipe too!
Decided to just now make this for lunch! I grew up with my mother making a really similar recipe, but with some added lemon and you fried them after boiling.
My dude Kenji just taught me about specific gravity while quoting Mr. Wizard and I’m living it UP, right now
I love Re watching your videos! Will give this a try soon!
Thank you for all you have done!
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new! No more $4 ricotta for me
Thank you, good to know about the Greek Basil! This gnocchi looks delicious, and since this is a quick recipe, it's doable for my family.
Thanks for this! We had these at a restaurant a few weeks ago and I wanted to make them at home. Seems super easy.
this was very oddly calming thank u
Love your videos, your tutorials help make such amazing meals
Always wondered. What’s that ladder like thing sitting right in the way?!
Helper stool for my daughter.
Another amazing recipe, they are also great if you add a lot of mashed basil in the dough ❤️❤️❤️ served with tomato are so delicious!
I like that Kenji calls out the haters/trolls. Good stuff. 20 minute meal.
Looks fantastic. I know what’s for dinner tonight! Thank you for teaching us this :)
Made these and me and my family loved them. I'm going to try to make malfatti next. Thank you for all sharing all these amazing videos!
Whos watching knowing they just watched the sopranos kenji you are unreal man big props you and babish I can't live without!!!!!
The second meal I tried from your yt account. I am really surprised how easy but at the same time very tasty the things you cook are. Also the POV perspective is great in addition to the things you talk about. Great job!!!!!
It's all those little finishing touches at the end that a pro does that make it super super good. The layered toppings of cheese basil pepper olive oil.
You're awesome Kenji!
In Chef John voice:
"you are after all the chef boyardee, of your ricotta gnocchi"
I made this! Super good w some fresh herbs and good simple tomato sauce (canned tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrot + bell pepper, puréed them after cooking). Realised afterwards I messed up the proportions of ricotta:egg but it was still great.
"I don't care, and neither should you" are words to live by when you're cooking for yourself. I mean, I understand that there are ways to do things that are objectively better, but if you're spending the money on your ingredients for whatever you're cooking, who cares how you do it, as long as you like it that way? I love browned garlic and onions in my tomato sauces. David Chang once said that flavour matters more than authenticity, and I 100% agree with him.
Hi Chef, your videos are the reason I have been visiting UA-cam everyday during the pandemic. Unfiltered, quality cooking in a home with a canine taster/companion *chef’s kiss
Gnocchi is one of my favorite foods, and that looks abso-fragging-lutely delicious. I could eat that entire plate, so good thing I'm nowhere near there.
"you also want to zip up your fly" we adore you Kenji Lopez-Alt
Looks gorgeous!
Thank you for another great video!!!
Well once again Kenji is deciding what I am having for dinner.
this looks amazing !!
I just made this with your watermelon arugula salad. Didn't think I'd pull it off. Turned out great!
You should give us a garden tour and your favorite kitchen equipment!
Kenji, your Spätzle pronunciation is more than fine! 😀As you are somehow into German cuisine, may I ask if you ever tried the holy grail (let's better say one of them) of German home cooking. the famous "Sauerbraten"? BTW: I read your restaurant menu a while ago and I was positively surprised by it. Not the umpteenth fake Bavarian Bierzelt place with convenience rubbish on the menu but a tasteful mix of different cuisines with some nice twists. I believe this concept would also work here in Germany in urban touristy places like Berlin! Cheers, Peter
He has a video where he makes Sauerbraten burgers if memory serves. The video excludes the Sauerbraten process (which I assume was made the day prior).

He has a sauerbraten dish on his menu or at least he talked about having one on there. He's very familiar with it.
@@TheDarthWTF Thank you!
@@adventofnull Thanks a lot, that is a really tasty idea that sandwich!
Looks awesome! I make something similar which are more like little dumplings. Ricotta without paper towel drainage (that looked like a pain), just pour off the excess liquid, add about 1/4 cup flour and one egg per cup ricotta, add herbs, mix briefly, then drop into boiling water by the spoonful, 3-4 minutes. A good bit easier, much softer than those looked though. Better to put on top of a stew or float in a soup, wouldn't stand up to tossing.
Fresh ricotta is also really good with a little powdered chocolate and sugar or instant coffee powder and sugar. Quick snack we always used to have in southern Italy.
Ricotta with salted dulce de leche is incredible
Kanji what a treasure you are, just found your channel, been looking for nookie. Thanks!
Nice work, another really good video.
Fantastic recipe, I just made it. Although my ricotta didn’t stick to the paper towel at all so I ended up having to use about 3-4 additional oz’s of flour.
Love the slow zoom on Shabu lurking at 9:39. So cute!
I like how he gives a two-minute heads-up for dinner just so everyone has time to stop what they were doing, wash their hands, etc.
Ashgabat Ketchumov Let’s bringing back the Montreal Expos
Can you make a video showing us how go make ricotta? Sounds fascinating!
Ah, one of my favourite things ever!
Great execution. I was skeptical about the ice bath. For some reason I thought that might disrupt the starches in the gnocchi. Looks terrific
I just subbed cuz of this video.. looks delicious!! Can't wait to make it
Kenji I can say that your new and improved Spätzle pronunciation is spot on!
That Bellwether ricotta topped with some in season summer berries and some good local honey is the BEST dessert in the world. I eat it almost nightly.
You're the man Kenji!
I'm so excited for this video I love gnnocci. Now I'm to eat cereal and think about this gnnocci.
I bet these would be super good with just a herb butter sauce, too, which is easy to make. Gnocchi with a good herb butter (I like sage or thyme) is a comfort food in the same vein as a good Mac and cheese - just so starchy and good.
I love how Kenji is so DGAF about the "police" out there. The snarky comments made my day 👏👏👏
Kenji the genius
Thanks for sharing this! I made it for my family tonight, after finishing working from home, and it was a big hit. I didn't have the parm, so substituted an extra ounce of ricotta and added some Trader Joe's mushroom umami seasoning. It worked out great. My 7 year old asked that I make it again next week, which is a very big deal. -- one of your female viewers
Amazing
Can we just appreciate how perfectly the ricotta fell out and onto the paper towels at 0:47? That was satisfying af
If only it came back off that easily
It must have been good, that is the most excited I've seen Jamon been.
My thought too!
He never misses!
Kenji, you are our modern Mr Wizard 😊
y’all leave Kenji alone. He’s always doing his best
Straight up real cooking. Beautiful!
I had the little "reflex" of opening my mouth when he tasted the sauce towards the end XD
When the imposter is sus! 😳
I also make something similar like this using farmers cheese. the eastern european style with butter and sour cream so good!
I made this for lunch today with some homemade ricotta. I sauteed a little homegrown Swiss chard with it and then finished it with a couple dollops of homemade creme fraiche. So, so nice!
Next time, I want to saute it with some homemade bacon.
Jamon is the real connoisseur, only getting excited for snacks of the best food. Shabu is down to scarf down whatever, whenever. Needless to say that I aspire to be Jamon, but I know I'm Shabu deep down.
Actually you technically can compress water, and turn it into a solid. It takes around 1Gpa of pressure at room temperature, which is relatively low when you think about commonly made things like synthetic diamonds needing around 100Gpa to form
As someone whose failed making regular gnocci with potatoes alot i think imma for sure try this one.
I love that olive oil, made and bottled in Chico, CA.
This looks awesome. I'm going to make it on mother's day, but I think I'll fold some dill and lemon zest into the dough and toss it in a pistachio pesto
I can't help but wonder if it might be easier to use butter cloth instead of towel to dry it. maybe hang it like you would to make a cheese that is pressed by it's own weight
Can't wait to try your recipe.
Basil actually propagates very well from cuttings. So if the garden center is out of what you want next time, just take some sprigs from the grocery store and allow them to root using a cloning method.
you can say Kasnocken instead of spetzle, it's often called Pinzgauer Kasnocken in Tirol, Austria. Pinzgauer is the region.
I love the dog eye zoom.
