Ingredients

Dough

300 g flour
3 large eggs
½ cup water
Salt to taste

Filling

Dry ricotta cheese
Salt to taste

Directions

Mix the flour, salt, eggs and water into a dough. Knead it until it is very smooth.
Cover the dough in a plastic bowl, and let it rest for at least half an hour.
Combine the ricotta and salt to make the filling.
Roll the dough out into a sheet as thin as possible (about 3 mm thick). Cut into squares, and fill each square with some filling. Fold the dough over the filling diagonally to make a triangular dumpling.
Boil the dumplings in water for about 5 minutes.
Serve hot.

Notes

You can also fill these dumplings with cooked potatoes and onions, or ricotta cheese with sugar for a sweet dumpling.

You could add some spicier cheese to the filling like cheddar, or even Parmesan, but make sure this is not more than a third of the filling.
