- Leave the shallots to pickle for at least 30 minutes.
- Combine the well-drained ricotta with the whole egg, egg yolk, Parmigiano, salt and black pepper.
- Add the flour and mix gently, just until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, divide it into pieces, roll them into logs and cut into gnocchi.
- Melt the butter over medium heat and cook until golden brown and nutty.
- Cook the gnocchi in gently boiling salted water; once they float, cook 30–45 seconds more.
- Transfer the gnocchi straight into the brown butter and toss gently, adding a little pasta water if needed.
- Plate and top with the drained pickled shallots, grated toasted pistachios, lemon zest and black pepper.
