Gnudi (Italian: [ˈɲuːdi]), also called malfatti,[1] are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese and semolina instead of potato flour.[2][3][4] The result is often a lighter, "pillowy" dish, unlike the often denser, chewier gnocchi.[5] Gnudi is the Tuscan word for "naked" (in standard Italian nudi),[6] the idea being that these "pillowy" balls of ricotta and spinach (sometimes without spinach, which is also known as ricotta gnocchi) are "*** ravioli", consisting of just the tasty filling without the pasta shell.[7][8]
