Ricotta Gnudi with Sage Brown Butter
If you are a fan of gnocchi, you’ll most likely become a fan of these pillowy balls of dough made with ricotta. It’s a fun change from the norm and could even be served as a starter. ”Gnudi” in Italian means bare or naked and these are typically served with a light sauce like sage brown butter.
