Gnudi alla fiorentina is a traditional Italian dish that is similar to ravioli, but without the pasta. It is made with ricotta cheese, spinach, bread crumbs, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. The dumplings are typically served in a simple tomato sauce, and are often garnished with grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs. Gnudi all acqua al 2 naked ravioli is a Tuscan version of this classic dish in which ricotta is mixed with warm water instead of eggs to make a dough and then a filling of Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, spinach and breadcrumbs is wrapped in the dough. It is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large bunch raw spinach, washed, dried, trimmed and chopped
5 tablespoons/74 ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for smearing hands
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound/450 g fresh ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons/57 g freshly grated Parmigiano cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
Salt
All-purpose flour, if needed
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 to 8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to about 400 degrees F. Saute the spinach with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 the quantity of the garlic for a few minutes until soft. Let cool. Then in a bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, Parmigiano and salt to taste. Add a small amount of flour, a little at a time, only if ricotta is filled with too much moisture. Combine the mixture thoroughly.
  • Smear some olive oil on your hands. Scoop mixture, in the amount of an egg, onto the palm of your hands and form into a compact ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • In a saucepan, heat up the remaining olive oil, then add the remaining garlic, cherry tomatoes and basil and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Spoon half the sauce into a baking dish, then add the "gnudi" balls and top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmigiano cheese and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a lighter version of the dish, use low-fat ricotta cheese.
  • If you don't have a pasta maker, you can use a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
  • To make the gnudi more flavorful, add some herbs or spices to the ricotta filling, such as basil, oregano, or garlic powder.
  • Be careful not to overcook the gnudi, or they will become tough.
  • Serve the gnudi immediately with your favorite sauce.
