Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 6 fresh sage leaves
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by clearing your kitchen counter and gathering utensils.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan until smooth. Gradually fold in the flour to keep the mixture airy.
- Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper; taste for seasoning.
- Lightly flour your hands and shape small portions into one-inch dumplings.

- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add sage leaves until crisp. Toss cooked gnudi in the sage-infused butter before serving.
Notes
