Davide's Tuscan Spinach & Ricotta Gnudi

Authentic Tuscan Recipe - A Treasured Recipe from the Heart of Tuscany

"During my career as a chef when I was living in Italy, I worked in a restaurant in Siena (Tuscany). That’s where I learned how to make these Gnudi. They were on the menu served different ways, but I really loved them as they are fluffy and they remind me of gnocchi!" - Davide

Davide’s gnudi are a true taste of Tuscany... soft pillows of spinach and ricotta, baked in a bright tomato sugo, topped with melted mozzarella and aged parmesan. This isn’t a modern twist or adaptation; it’s the authentic recipe he learned in a professional restaurant kitchen in Siena, where Tuscan traditions are treasured and passed down through generations.

Unlike heavier potato gnocchi, gnudi are light and delicate, almost melting in your mouth while still being hearty enough for a satisfying meal. Every bite balances creamy ricotta, fresh spinach, and rich Italian cheeses with the brightness of tomato and basil. It’s an elegant yet comforting dish that brings restaurant-quality Tuscan cooking straight to your table.
