Mix the cottage cheese, eggs, butter, 60 gram flour, 50 gram parmesan cheese and salt and fresh milled pepper to taste and knead well together. Put this in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight. Form about 50 balls with your fingers and roll them through the remaining flour. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and poach the gnocchi until they are floating (4-5 minutes). Serve with marinara sauce and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
