Gnudi Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, chopped parsley, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Gnudi

   Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, round dumplings, about the size of a golf ball. Coat each dumpling lightly with parmesan bread crumbs.

3. 3

   Boil the Gnudi

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, carefully drop in the gnudi. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted and bubbling, add the cooked gnudi and sauté for a couple of minutes until lightly golden.

5. 5

   Serve

   Transfer the gnudi to a serving plate, drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet, and garnish with additional parmesan bread crumbs and fresh herbs if desired.
