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 "nude ravioli", consisting of just the tasty filling without the pasta shell.[7][8]
