Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons semolina flour for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Place the ricotta in a sieve lined with a paper towel. Press another paper towel on top and let sit to drain excess liquid for 1 hour.
  • In a large bowl, mix the drained ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, salt, nutmeg, and pepper until well combined.
    Flour, eggs, and seasoning in a white mixing bowl for baking or cooking ingredients.
  • Gradually add all-purpose flour to the ricotta mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add 1 more tablespoon of flour at a time until it is easier to work with. Dust a baking sheet with semolina flour.
    Flour and batter mixture in white bowl for baking bread or cake.
  • Form the dough into a few ropes and then cut into bite-sized pieces. Form small, walnut-sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
    Cream cheese balls on baking sheet with powdered sugar and shredded coconut, ready for baking or chilling.
  • Chill the formed gnudi for 30 minutes to help them hold their shape better.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the gnudi and cook until they float to the top, about 3-5 minutes. Cook for 1 additional minute after they rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
