• 1 pch cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 pch salt
• 1/4 c. candied citrus peel minced

1. Boil the whole potatoes till they are soft, about 45 min.

4. Place the egg and salt in the center of the well and using a fork, stir into flour and potatoes, just like making normal pasta.
5. Once the egg is mixed in, bring dough together, kneading gently till a ball is formed.
6. Knead gently another 4 min till ball is dry to the touch.
7. Divide the dough into 6 large balls.
8. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch diameter ropes and cut the ropes into 1-inch long pcs.
9. Flick the pcs off of a fork or possibly along the concave side of a cheese grater to score the sides.
10. Drop the dough pcs into the boiling water and cook till they float to the surface, about 1 minute.
11. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, cocoa, cinnamon, sugar, and a healthy pinch of salt and stir well.
