Method
Step 1 of 6
Place ricotta into a fine sieve over a bowl. Stand for 30 minutes to drain.
Step 2 of 6
Meanwhile, cut a small cross on the base of each tomato and place into a bowl. Cover with boiling water and stand for 1-2 minutes until skin begins to peel. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Remove and discard skins. Roughly chop tomato.
Step 3 of 6
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste. Add tomato and 1 cup water. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Chop half of the basil and add to sauce. Season.
Step 4 of 6
Place spinach into a bowl. Cover with boiling water and stand for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water. Squeeze as much water as possible from spinach. Finely chop. Place into a large bowl. Add ricotta, half the parmesan, egg and flour. Stir until well combined.
Step 5 of 6
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Drop tablespoons of ricotta mixture into the saucepan, and cook, in batches, for 3 minutes or until gnudi floats to the top of the water. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Cover to keep warm.
Step 6 of 6
Divide gnudi between serving plates. Top with tomato sauce, remaining parmesan and basil. Season and serve.
