Ingredients

2 lb russet potatoes
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch nutmeg
2 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
parmesan cheese (optional)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion
1 large carrot
2 cloves garlic
1/2 large red pepper
2 cans (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cup water
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Steps

Boil the potatoes in water for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender, then drain, peel, and mash them.
Mix the warm potatoes with ricotta, eggs, salt, nutmeg, and two cups flour, adding more flour until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into ropes, cut it into small pieces, and rest the gnocchi for 15 minutes.
Cook the onion, carrot, red pepper, and garlic in olive oil in a large pot for 8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, water, bay leaves, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper, then simmer uncovered for 60 minutes.
Boil the gnocchi in water in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until they float, then drain and toss with the sauce.
