Author Notes
I was making sourdough pasta the other day and I was struck at how ravioli filling is so similar to gnudi. I've been seeing gnudi, a kind of ricotta dumpling, everywhere lately so I had to give it a try. I based this recipe on my Mom's filling and used semolina flour just to see how it would work out. I think they are pretty delicious! —almacucina
Ingredients
-
2 cups
whole milk ricotta cheese
-
4 tablespoons
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons
freshy parsley, finely chopped
-
2
eggs
-
1 pinch
freshly grated nutmeg
-
sea salt and ground pepper to taste
-
1/2-3/4 cups
semolina flour
-
2 cups
your favorite marinara sauce
Directions
-
In a medium bowl whisk together first six ingredients. Slowly add semolina using just enough to bind everything together, although it will still be a bit loose.
-
Chill mixture for 1 hour. Using two spoons (I used deep teaspoons) scoop up the filling and roll it from one spoon to another until you get a perfect, somewhat elongated egg shape. Carefully transfer to a baking sheet dusted with flour. Cover and chill for another hour.
-
In a large pot bring 3 quarts of salted water to a rapid boil. Carefully drop half the gnudi into water and lower heat to a gentle boil. Cook for 5 or 6 minutes. Pull out gundi with a ladle or spider and drain. Repeat with the rest of the gnudi. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
