Ricotta Gnudi With Pomodoro Sauce Recipes

RICOTTA GNUDI WITH POMODORO SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix ricotta, egg, egg yolk, pepper, 1/2 cup Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add 1/2 cup flour; stir just until combined and mixture forms a ball (mixture will be soft and moist with some bits of ricotta remaining; add more flour by the tablespoonful if it feels wet).
• Dust a rimmed baking sheet generously with flour. Using 2 large soup spoons, shape heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into football shapes; place on baking sheet and dust with more flour (you should have 30).
• Cook gnudi in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and tender, 5-6 minutes (gnudi will quickly float to surface; continue cooking or gnudi will be gummy in the center).
• Using a slotted spoon, divide gnudi among bowls. Top with Quick Pomodoro Sauce and more Parmesan.

GNUDI (RICOTTA GNOCCHI)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add basil and cook uncovered until just wilted, about 1 minute. Immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain. Squeeze very dry and finely chop.
• Mix ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup flour, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg yolks, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add basil, white pepper, and salt; mix until gnudi mixture is well-combined.
• Dust your hands with remaining 1/4 cup flour and form gnudi mixture into small balls.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lemon juice. Boil gnudi in batches until they float to the top of the water, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.

RICOTTA GNUDI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
• Meanwhile, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix well. Add in 00 flour.
• Sift in semolina flour and carefully fold into ricotta mixture until semolina flour is just incorporated and a soft dough forms.
• Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll each section into a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter.
• Cut the rope into 1-inch long pieces with a butter knife. Use your forefinger and press down into the middle of each gnudi to create a small dimple. Set the gnudi on a lightly floured baking sheet.
• Drop gnudi in batches into the simmering water and cook until they float to the surface, less than 1 minute.
• Drain gnudi and transfer to bowls.
• Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a saucepan until hot, about 5 minutes.
• Top each portion generously with marinara sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and basil ribbons.
