Gnudi
Type of pasta From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gnudi (Italian: [ˈɲuːdi]), also known as malfatti,[1] are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese and semolina instead of potato flour.[2][3][4] The result is often a lighter, "pillowy" dish, unlike the often denser, chewier gnocchi.[5] Gnudi is the Tuscan word for 'naked' (in standard Italian nudi),[6] the idea being that these "pillowy" balls of ricotta and spinach (sometimes without spinach) are "nude ravioli", consisting of just the tasty filling without the pasta shell.[7][8]

By tradition, in Tuscany these dumplings are served with burnt butter and sage sauce, sprinkled with Parmesan or pecorino toscano cheese.[9][10][11][12]
