Ricotta & Spinach Gnudi made in a Thermomix

This is my independent Thermomix homage to Antonio Carluccio and the comforting appeal of gnudi. It keeps the spirit of the original inspiration, but the method is written fresh for TM6 and TM7 cooks who want clear settings and a warm, achievable result.

Ingredients

Thermomix method

  1. Steam the spinach: 400 g water in the bowl, spinach in the Varoma, 6 min / Varoma / speed 1. Squeeze dry and chop 3 sec / speed 5.
  2. Add ricotta, egg, parmesan, flour, nutmeg and salt. Mix 15 sec / speed 4 to a soft dough. Chill 20 minutes.
  3. Roll into small balls, dust with flour, and simmer in salted water 3–4 minutes until they float. Toss in melted sage butter. (Stovetop finish.)

Aly's tips

  • Squeeze the spinach really dry or the dough will be wet.
  • Don't overcook — they're done when they float.

Questions

Can I make them ahead?
