Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together ricotta, cheese, egg yolk, lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Sift 1/2 cup flour over mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently fold together. Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured work surface and sift remaining flour over top. With fingertips, gently incorporate flour into dough and lightly knead just until dough comes together (do not overwork dough).
- Set a large pot of salted water to boil. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 3/4 inch thick and 20 inches long. With a knife or dough scraper, cut each log into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Drop pieces into boiling water. Cook until they plump up and float to surface, 2 minutes. Drain dumplings and shake off excess water.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium. When it sizzles, add dumplings and cook, undisturbed, until golden on one side, 6 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter to skillet and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with cheese. Serve warm.

SPRING ONION AND RICOTTA FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
A deliciously-different entree adapted from one of my favourite cookbooks: 'The Onion Cookbook: cooking with onions, garlic, leeks, spring onions, shallots and chives' by English chef Brian Glover. Not liking spicy food, when I've made this recipe I've omitted both the chilli and Thai fish sauce, but I've included them here for those who like their food spicy. Instead of the chilli, I add sweet red pepper. If the salsa needs more liquid, add a little more lime juice or lemon juice.

Steps:
- THE SALSA: Peel, stone and dice the avocados. Place in a bowl with the red onion, lime rind and juice. Add chilli, to taste (or sweet red pepper if you don't like spicy food), the tomatoes, mint and coriander. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, sugar and Thai fish sauce (omit this if you don't like spicy food). Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.
- THE FRITTERS: Beat the ricotta until smooth, then beat in the egg and flour, then the flour, to make a smooth, thick batter. Then beat in the spring onions and coriander and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add spoonfuls of the batter mixture to make fritters (about 7.5 centimetres or 3" across) and lightly sauté for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the batter mixture has set and is a golden brown.
- SERVING: Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice and/or sugar to taste. Serve the fritters with the salsa and dollops of crème fraiche. Garnish with coriander sprigs and lime wedges.

CITRUS-SCENTED RICOTTA FRITTERS
Astonishingly easy and unbelievably light, that's these dessert fritters. Ricotta whisked into the basic batter is the secret to the airy texture; fresh lemon and orange zest is another great addition for cutting through the richness. They're well worth buying a deep-fry thermometer for if you don't have one already.

Steps:
- Line a strainer with double layer of cheesecloth. Put ricotta in strainer; place strainer over a bowl. Cover; refrigerate overnight. Discard liquid. Transfer ricotta to a medium bowl; add prosciutto, Parmesan, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Lightly dust a parchment-lined baking pan with cornstarch, and set aside. Place a dumpling skin on a clean surface. Using your fingertip, wet edge of both sides of skin. Place 2 teaspoons of ricotta mixture in center. Draw up edges; make a small pleat. Squeeze pleat firmly together; continue making pleats until dumpling is sealed. Place completed dumpling on prepared pan. Loosely cover with plastic wrap. Repeat process, using remaining skins and filling.
- Fill a wok or a high-sided saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, bringing water to a simmer. Using a pastry brush, generously brush top and bottom compartments of large bamboo steamer basket with oil. Brush any excess cornstarch from dumplings; arrange loosely in compartments. Assemble steamer, cover, and place over simmering water. Steam until wrappers are soft and filling is heated through, about 8 minutes, switching top and bottom compartments halfway through steaming.
- Pour 1 teaspoon tomato sauce into a Chinese soupspoon, and place a dumpling on top; if using another vessel, serve sauce on side. Garnish with basil leaf, and serve.
