Gnudi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Gnudi

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, all-purpose flour, grated Grana Padano cheese, egg yolks, salt, nutmeg, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  2. 2

    Shape the Gnudi

    Flour your hands and take a small portion of the dough, rolling it into a ball about the size of a walnut. Place the formed gnudi on a floured baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is shaped.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gnudi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the gnudi into the water in batches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Romesco Sauce

    In a blender or food processor, combine roasted red peppers, toasted walnuts, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the gnudi and drizzle with the romesco sauce. Garnish with additional grated Grana Padano cheese and chopped toasted walnuts.
