Description

Rich ricotta dumplings with spinach and lemon is a rustic and authentic Italian dish packed with flavour.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Place the spinach in a large sieve over the sink and pour over boiling water to wilt. Squeeze out excess liquid and finely chop the spinach. Add to a large bowl with the ricotta, breadcrumbs, flour, nutmeg, egg yolks and 120g of parmesan and mix well to combine.

Step 2 of 4

Using your hands, scoop the mix into 25 balls and shape into logs. Place on a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3 of 4

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Reduce to a simmer. Working in batches, add the gnudi into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 4 of 4

Heat the butter in a large pan on medium high heat and add the lemon zest and 30g of parmesan. Drain the gnudi and add to the pan, swirling to coat in the butter sauce. Serve the gnudi with sauce poured on top, fresh parsley and extra parmesan if desired.
