How to cook deliciously - Ricotta Gnudi

1. Stage

Line a baking sheet with 3 or 4 layers of paper towels. Evenly spread ricotta on paper towels. Lay more paper towels on top of ricotta and use your hands to blot excess moisture.

2. Stage

Transfer ricotta to a large mixing bowl. Add Parmesan, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup flour and stir to combine.

3. Stage

Clean baking sheet and line with parchment paper. Spread 1/4 cup flour on parchment with your hands. Scoop level tablespoons of gnudi dough into your floured hands and gently roll each into a ball. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, adding more flour as necessary.

4. Stage

Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup flour on top of gnudi. Gently roll gnudi in flour until coated. 

5. Stage

Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.

6. Stage

When ready to cook, fill a large pot with 2" water and bring to a boil. Season with 2 large pinches of salt. Using a slotted spoon, gently add gnudi to pot, in batches to avoid overcrowding, and cook until they float to the top, 2 minutes. Transfer to a large serving plate.

7. Stage

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown butter, slowly whisking, 5 to 6 minutes. Once it begins to lightly brown, add mint and let crisp, 1 minute. Transfer mint to a small plate.

8. Stage

Add peas to skillet and cook until slightly soft, 2 to 3 minutes.

9. Stage

Spoon peas and browned butter over gnudi and top with crispy mint leaves and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
