Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup drained ricotta; 1 large egg; Grated zest of 1 lemon; 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano; 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the water; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more if necessary and for rolling; 2 tablespoons canola oil; 2 cloves garlic, chopped; 2 shallots, chopped; 1 Fresno chile, chopped; 6 ears corn, kernels removed; 2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1 cup canola oil; 4 paper-thin slices prosciutto; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving; Chopped fresh basil, for serving

For the gnocchi: Whisk together the ricotta, egg, lemon zest, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the flour and mix until a soft, slightly wet dough forms, adding more flour if needed. Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until the dough just comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.

With lightly floured hands, shape the dough on a well-floured surface into two 1-inch-thick ropes. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces with a lightly floured knife. Arrange in a single layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi, in batches if needed, until they float, 2 minutes. Drain well.

For the corn sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic, shallots and chile and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and saute for 5 minutes.

Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and cook until the corn begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Remove the corn to a blender with a slotted spoon and add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Blend on low speed, pulsing a few times, until smooth, adding more liquid if necessary to create a sauce consistency.

Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until warmed through and thickened, about 15 minutes.

For the prosciutto: Heat the oil in a small saute pan until it begins to shimmer. Fry the prosciutto one slice at a time until crisp, about 1 minute.

Remove the prosciutto to a plate lined with paper towels and season with pepper. Let cool slightly and crumble into pieces.

To serve: Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat until it begins to turn a light amber color. Add the drained gnocchi and cook until lightly golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon some of the sauce into shallow bowls and top with the gnocchi. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, crumbled prosciutto and basil.
