RICOTTA GNUDI RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, the 1/4 cup of Parmigiano, the egg, butter and nutmeg. Sprinkle 1 cup of the flour over the ricotta mixture and fold it in. Dust the dough lightly with more flour and shape into a ball. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to a rope and cut it into 36 pieces. Gently roll the pieces into balls and transfer to a floured baking sheet.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of the oil. Add the chanterelles, season with salt and cook over high heat until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and stir over low heat for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of water and the butter, raise the heat to moderate and stir until the butter is melted. Season with salt.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, boil the gnudi until tender and cooked through, about 6 minutes; drain. Add the gnudi to the skillet and stir gently to coat with the sauce. Cook over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Spoon the gnudi and sauce into bowls. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Combine ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, garlic and salt in bowl. Add 1/2 cup flour; stir until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
• Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Place additional flour into pie pan. Drop scant tablespoons dough into flour. Gently roll dough in flour, shaking off excess.
• Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over low heat. Drop gnudi into boiling water; cook 3-5 minutes or until gnudi rise to top. Remove each gnudi from water as it rises; place into skillet. Increase skillet heat to medium. Cook, turning occasionally, 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place into serving dish; pour remaining butter over top. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
