Ricotta Gnudi with Spinach & Dukkah

1. Prepare Gnudi Dough

In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper until smooth. Add the flour and pulse until just incorporated. Scrape the dough into a bowl and set aside.

2. Cook Gnudi

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle simmer. Use an ice cream scoop to drop gnudi dough into the water. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until they rise to the surface, then continue simmering for 5-7 more minutes. Transfer the cooked gnudi to a lightly oiled baking sheet and rest for 10 minutes.

3. Brown Gnudi

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and butter. Add the gnudi and brown for 3-5 minutes. Coat them in the butter mixture for another minute, then transfer back to the baking sheet.

4. Wilt Spinach

In the same skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the spinach and a pinch of salt, cooking for 3 minutes until wilted.

5. Combine and Serve

Combine the gnudi and spinach in the skillet with fresh lemon juice. Gently mix, season with salt and pepper, and transfer to plates or a serving platter. Sprinkle generously with dukkah.
