At the same time that I noticed I had three lemons roaming about the fridge, I realised I had a half-full carton of ricotta cheese that desperately needed to be used (I may have had to scoop out a few bits that were a funny color…but the rest of it was fine!). Although a Google search for ‘lemon ricotta’ turned up about five pages of recipes for lemon ricotta pancakes, I stumbled across one for Pan-Fried Lemon Ricotta Gnocchi.

Very tasty – I mean, it’s basically fried chese, so how can you go wrong? Last night I had it just with a bit of basil and lemon zest, but for lunch I added some homemade pesto and it was just as good.

Oh my God, will you marry us?
