Ingredients
4 Servings
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 2 egg yolks
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 450 g ricotta cheese
- 1 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 3
Dust a clean surface with flour. Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a log about 1 inch in diameter. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces.
Step 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the gnudi into the water, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnudi to a plate. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
