1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus a little extra
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS
THE SAUCE:
Combine all the sauce ingredients along with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper into a blender. Puree the ingredients then pour into a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt & pepper to taste.
THE GNUDI:
Bring a large pot of water with 1/2 tsp salt to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and let the water simmer.
In a large mixing bowl add the ricotta, spinach, Parmesan (save a little for garnishing), basil, parsley, eggs, the 1 cup of the flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Thoroughly mix the ingredients together until well combined.
Spread the remaining flour (1/2 cup) out onto large rimmed dish or baking sheet.
Lightly flour your hands then form the spinach mixture into egg shaped dumplings about 2 inches long. Roll the dumplings in the flour to fully coat then let rest 5 minutes.
Shake off any excess flour and carefully drop the dumplings into the simmering water (dont overcrowd, work in batches if necessary) and cook 4 to 5 minutes, dumplings should begin floating. Transfer the dumplings to a plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
Pour your sauce into a large serving dish and lay the Gnudi on top. Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese over top and serve.
Big mistake in the recipe...you need to add the flour to spinach mixture before you roll into balls. My first time making these and when I put my gnudi in the simmering water they disintegrated..Warning!! Add the flour if you dont want a soupy mess.

UPDATE: Thank you for pointing out the mistake, the recipe has been corrected.
The person who posted this recipe clearly did not ever make it. If it were not for the one comment that the flour should have been incorporated into the dough, it would be pretty useless. For shame. This is a delicious dish but the recipe must be tested and corrected. Thank you.
