Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large bunch raw spinach, washed, dried, trimmed and chopped
5 tablespoons/74 ml extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for smearing hands
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound/450 g fresh ricotta cheese
4 tablespoons/57 g freshly grated Parmigiano cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
Salt
All-purpose flour, if needed
20 cherry tomatoes, halved
4 to 8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to about 400 degrees F. Saute the spinach with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/2 the quantity of the garlic for a few minutes until soft. Let cool. Then in a bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta, Parmigiano and salt to taste. Add a small amount of flour, a little at a time, only if ricotta is filled with too much moisture. Combine the mixture thoroughly.
  • Smear some olive oil on your hands. Scoop mixture, in the amount of an egg, onto the palm of your hands and form into a compact ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • In a saucepan, heat up the remaining olive oil, then add the remaining garlic, cherry tomatoes and basil and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Spoon half the sauce into a baking dish, then add the "gnudi" balls and top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmigiano cheese and bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
