Gnudi – Tuscan Ricotta & Spinach Dumplings

Servings 3
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g spinach
  • 250 ricotta
  • 1 egg
  • 70 g Parmesan cheese
  • 40 g flour
  • salt pepper, nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • In a on cook the spinach with a bit of garlic and oil. When they go soft they are ready.
  • Remove the excess water from the spinach: you can leave the spinach to drain into a colander, with a bowl underneath to catch the dripping water or, much faster, like I did, just squeeze with your hands.
  • Put the spinach on a chopping board and chop finely.
  • In a large bowl add all the ingredients and mix well with a fork, until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Now it’s time to roll into balls: to make this process easy, add a drizzle of oil in your hands so the dough won’t stick to your hands. Prepare a small bowl with extra flour and keep it next to the large mixing bowl.
  • Grab a tablespoon of the mix and roll into balls with you hands (~2.5cm in size), roll the ball into the small bowl with the extra flour so we can lightly coated it.
  • Leave the Gnudi on a chopping board or another clean surface while you make the rest.
  • Once the Gnudi are ready, cook them in boiling water like you would do with gnocchi: the Gnudi are are when they float on the surface.
