Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the spatchcocked chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place it skin side up on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Make the Ricotta Gnudi

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, flour, eggs, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms. Shape into small dumplings.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnudi

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop in the gnudi and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Brodo

    In a large pot, combine chicken broth, parsnip, celery root, and kale. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the roasted chicken with a generous serving of ricotta gnudi and pour the vegetable brodo over the top. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan if desired.
