RICOTTA GNUDI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
• Meanwhile, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix well. Add in 00 flour.
• Sift in semolina flour and carefully fold into ricotta mixture until semolina flour is just incorporated and a soft dough forms.
• Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and cut dough into 4 pieces. Roll each section into a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter.
• Cut the rope into 1-inch long pieces with a butter knife. Use your forefinger and press down into the middle of each gnudi to create a small dimple. Set the gnudi on a lightly floured baking sheet.
• Drop gnudi in batches into the simmering water and cook until they float to the surface, less than 1 minute.
• Drain gnudi and transfer to bowls.
• Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a saucepan until hot, about 5 minutes.
• Top each portion generously with marinara sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and basil ribbons.
