Ingredients

30 Servings
(1 serving = 1 gnudi)
  • 1lb
    fresh baby spinach
  • 1 1/2lb
    whole milk ricotta
  • 1 1/4cups
    grated parmesan cheese
  • 6piece
    large eggs
  • 3 1/2cups
    00 or all-purpose flour
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1/2
    Pomodoro recipe

How to make Easy Italian Gnudi Recipe

  1. Add the baby spinach to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until wilted.

  2. Run the spinach under cold water and chill in the strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

  3. Add the ricotta cheese to a strainer in a bowl and drain off as much liquid from the cheese as possible, which takes about 10 minutes.

  4. Remove the baby spinach from the refrigerator, finely mince it, and add to a large bowl along with the ricotta, parmesan, eggs, salt, and pepper until completely combined.

  5. Add in the flour and mix to form a sticky dough. You may need to add in a bit more or use a bit less as it is more about feel than anything.

  6. Scoop out about 3-4 tablespoons and roll them around in a small bowl of flour to coat, then roll them in your hand to form a ball. Repeat until all the dough has been rolled and set aside.

  7. Cooking in batches, add them to a large pot of boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top.

  8. Serve them with hot Pomodoro sauce with optional garnishes of grated parmesan cheese and basil leaves.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.

  2. Adjust the amount of flour based on the dough's stickiness.
