Chef tips:
Gnudi are an ancient recipe of Tuscan cuisine. They are called gnudi because they are "stripped" of the pasta, naked. They are nothing but the filling of the classic ravioli, ricotta and spinach. They are very difficult to find in supermarkets because they must be eaten freshly made. So, either you are lucky enough to savor them at the restaurant or you just have to prepare them. They are a real delicacy, a beautiful dish to look at and a delicate flavor. Dressed with tomato or sage and rosemary.
