Today, it’s raining!?!
No, not meatballs, but GNUDI!!!
Have you ever tried them?
They’re a classic dish from the Maremma region of Tuscany, and in the local dialect, “gnudi” literally means “naked”: they are... the filling of Maremma tortelli, shaped into large dumplings, then boiled in lightly salted water and served with butter and sage... and a sprinkle of sweet Altino pepper flakes!

Steps

About 40 minutes
  1. 1

    Boil the spinach in salted water, then drain and squeeze out as much water as possible. Set aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the gnudi.

  2. 2

    Chop the spinach and place it in a bowl. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and a grating of nutmeg.

  3. 3

    Mix everything together. Using a spoon, shape the mixture into balls with a slightly elongated shape. Coat them lightly with flour, then drop them into the boiling salted water. When they float to the surface, they’re ready to be served. Top with butter, sage, and Parmesan.

Sito web: https://www.carlalacontessina.com/Mi chiamo Carla, nella vita mi occupo di altro (sono responsabile della comunicazione in un ente pubblico), ma da sempre ho avuto una grande passione per la cucina e per l’estetica del cibo. Da pochissimo ho un mio blog di cucina https://www.carlalacontessina.com/ dove “posto” piatti creati da me con testi “originali” sugli ingredienti utilizzati e alcune curiosità... ma non solo. Ho anche un profilo Instagram, Fb, un canale YouTube e un canale ISSUU. Sono sempre alla ricerca dei prodotti del territorio e di quelli “originali” per realizzare i miei piatti. Da circa un anno, assieme ad un amico, mi diverto anche a realizzare delle brevi videoricette ... alla portata di tutti!
