I finally made the gnudi I've been yammering about for the past couple
of weeks. Thanks to Giadia on FoodTV for the inspiration!

I used skim ricotta and whole eggs only. I will leave out any sweet
spice next time. I used just a whisper and it was too overpowering
for me.

Gnudi
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Difficulty: Easy
User Rating: 4 Stars

1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 pound frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed *dry*
1 cup grated Parmesan
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus 1 cup for coating
1 jar store bought marinara sauce, heated

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

In a large bowl, mix ricotta, spinach, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and
yolks. Stir in nutmeg, salt, pepper, and flour. Form mixture in to
small, flattened balls.

Dredge the formed gnudi in flour to coat, tapping off the excess.
Slide formed gnudi into the boiling water. Be careful not to
overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Remove the gnudi
using a slotted spoon after they float to the top and have cooked for
about 4 minutes.

Arrange gnudi on a platter and lightly drizzle with marinara sauce.
