Gnudi
Also known as: Gnudi toscani
Tender Tuscan ricotta-and-Pecorino dumplings with a fine semolina skin, finished in nutty sage brown butter.

About Gnudi
Gnudi are Tuscan ricotta dumplings often described as ravioli filling without its pasta wrapper. This profile follows Great Italian Chefs' sage-and-brown-butter version.
Ricotta and Pecorino taste creamy and savoury, with nutmeg warmth, crisp sage, nutty browned butter and a final lift of lemon.
The dumplings are pale, plump and tender inside, with a delicate semolina skin and lightly golden butter-glossed exterior.
