How to make Easy Italian Gnudi Recipe
Add the baby spinach to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until wilted.
Run the spinach under cold water and chill in the strainer over a bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cooking in batches, add them to a large pot of boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the top.
Serve them with hot Pomodoro sauce with optional garnishes of grated parmesan cheese and basil leaves.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
Adjust the amount of flour based on the dough's stickiness.
