Ingredients:  
Gnocchi
250g Low fat or full fat ricotta
1 Extra-large egg
1 Extra-large egg yolk
50g (1.8oz) Freshly fine grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon Fine sea salt
35g to 47g White rice flour (½ to ¾ cup)
⅓ teaspoon Ground nutmeg

1 Tablespoon butter or olive oil for sauce
500g Beef mince
1 700mL Jar tomato pasta sauce

Directions:
Directions:
Sauce - make first.
Fry onion until brown in butter/ olive oil.
Add garlic and fry a little.
Add beef mince, separating it until fully browned.
Add tomato pasta sauce to mince mixture.
Add herbs and 1 teaspoon salt plus pepper.
Add water, turn down heat and let simmer for an hour.

Gnocchi
Drain ricotta of all liquid and then add to a mixing bowl with egg, egg yolk, parmesan and ½ teaspoon salt.
Mix with a fork of your hands until well combined.
Add in ½ cup rice flour, mix with a fork or your hands. Test by forming a small dumpling - of it holds its shape then there is enough flour. If not, slowly add a bit more until it does.
Once it is ready add nutmeg.
Make all dumplings in your preferred size using your hands to shape and mold together.
Fill a large saucepan to ¾ full of water and bring to a boil.
Place the dumplings in the boiling water. After about 30 seconds gently stir with a wooden spoon to prevent them sticking together.
The gnocchi are done once they start floating for 30 seconds - usually in around 4 minutes of being added to the water, sometimes they don't float much so watch the time and pull them out.
Drain the gnocchi and place back in the pan.
Add a ladle of sauce to stir into the gnocchi.
Place on a plate or in a bowl and add more sauce to the bowl.
Add parmesan and enjoy!

Personal Notes:
I make my gnocchi about the size of a peanut, maybe a little bigger so they cook well.
The sauce is old fashioned Italian pasta sauce from scratch.
This takes less time than traditional gnocchi.
