Cooking Steps
- Clear a space in your freezer large enough to fit a large plate.
- Line a large plate with parchment paper (use 2 plates or a baking sheet for 4 servings).
- Thinly slice chives.
- To a shallow dish, add half the flour.
- To a large bowl, combine ricotta, egg, half the chives, half the Parmesan, remaining flour, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper.
- Scoop ricotta mixture into 12 (24) portions. (TIP: Each portion should be the size of a ping-pong ball.)
- Working with one at a time, add a portion of ricotta mixture to the dish with the flour, then roll to coat.
- Transfer to the prepared plate. Rpeat with remaining portions of ricotta mixture. Discard any remaining flour.
- When all gnudi are coated in flour, place the plate of gnudi in the freezer to firm up slightly, about 15 min.
- Meanwhile, to a large pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Peel, halve, then finely chop shallot.
- Thinly slice mushrooms.
- Pluck sage leaves from stems.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- Meanwhile, line a plate with paper towels.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then walnuts and sage. (TIP: We love using olive oil in this recipe.) Cook, stirring often, until walnuts are golden and sage is crisp, 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat, then transfer walnuts and sage to prepared plate.
- Season with salt while hot.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring often until golden.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then shallots. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring until tender. Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Stir to coat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cream, cream cheese and 1/4 cup (1/3 cup) water. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring until sauce thickens slightly.
- Add spinach. Stir until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, add gnudi to the boiling water. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until gnudi float to the top, 3-5 min. (TIP: For 4 servings, cook gnudi in two batches.)
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer gnudi to bowls.
- When sauce is done, top gnudi with sauce.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan, fried walnuts and sage and remaining chives over top.
