How to cook deliciously - Ricotta Gnudi

1. Stage

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.

Meanwhile, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix well. Add in 00 flour.

3. Stage

Sift in semolina flour and carefully fold into ricotta mixture until semolina flour is just incorporated and a soft dough forms.

4. Stage

Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll each section into a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter.

Cut the rope into 1-inch long pieces with a butter knife. Use your forefinger and press down into the middle of each gnudi to create a small dimple. Set the gnudi on a lightly floured baking sheet.

Drop gnudi in batches into the simmering water and cook until they float to the surface, less than 1 minute.

Drain gnudi and transfer to bowls.

Top each portion generously with marinara sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and basil ribbons.
