Short Rib and Ricotta Gnocchi

It's time to put away the grill and start dusting off those hearty, warm in your tummy recipes.  The first up on my list is going to be Short Rib and Ricotta Gnocchi.  This is one of those dishes that needs to simmer all day and makes the house smell great and feel so inviting.  I'm a little sad to say good bye to summer, mainly because the time got a way from me a little.  I had some great vacations but the weather and work schedules didn't allow for us to do some of the local activities we usually do.  So, as to not let another season slip by and I am attempting to make this the best fall ever.  I think this dish is just what we need to get us in the mode for apple picking and fall flea markets.
