Ricotta Gnudi with Spicy Tomato Sauce

ricotta gnudi with spicy tomato sauce recipe

Last week I posted about recipes for gnudi (pronounced nude-y) that I wanted to try. To be honest, I didn't grow up eating gnudi. Yes I have ate lots of delicious American-Italian cheese & sauce covered dishes but gnudi wasn't one of them. I had it at a restaurant once & it put it on the map.

So mom & Jennifer (who didn't know what gnudi was when I told them about it) gnudi is like a cheesy dumpling - or as I like to think of it a delicious cheese blob - but that might not sound so appetizing - but it is. They're kind of like the cousin of a ravioli, the difference is there is no clear definition between the pasta & the filling - it's all one homogeneous mixture. DELICIOUS.

I went with Lottie + Doof's  ricotta gnudi recipe.  I used the sauce I posted about on Monday. Overall it made for a pretty tasty Sunday dinner.

Recipe Inspiration: Homemade Gnudi


I don't cook every night - believe it or not. We do leftovers & take-out in our house too.  I do, however, window shop around for recipes & ideas in my down time. I love finding a photo that makes me drool.  These three homemade gnudi recipes did just that. If you've never had gnudi it's pretty much a cheese dumpling, pillowy & soft - so what's not to love?  Can't wait to try one of these out. Which one do you think I should try?
