Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups full-cream ricotta
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp kosher salt (or sea salt)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- ⅔ cup fresh breadcrumbs (use gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired)
- ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano DOP cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 tsp parsley (chopped, fresh)
- ¼ cup corn meal (or semolina)
- 1 recipe homemade tomato sauce (fresh, to serve)
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, except for the corn meal. If too wet, add some breadcrumbs; too dry, add milk.
- Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to overnight.
- Using wet hands, shape the gnudi into small balls. Place on a tray or countertop sprinkled with a little corn meal or semolina.
- Heat the tomato sauce in a sauté pan. When the sauce comes to a simmer, gently place the gnudi in the sauce. Cover and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
- Gently turn them with a wooden spoon, cover and allow to cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with crusty bread.

Notes
- Remember to plan ahead for this dish as the gnudi should be refrigerated before cooking.
