Recipe
Mix together the ricotta, parmesan, lemon zest and sage until combined and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Roll into 3cm balls and place on a tray with fine semolina to coat the gnudi. Leave in the fridge for at least 7 hours or overnight without covering.
Shake and turn the cooled balls in the tray as often as you can.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil with a splash of cider vinegar and rapeseed oil. Shake any excess semolina off the gnudi and cook half the batch for 3 minutes. Scoop them out of the boiling water and set aside while you repeat with the 2nd batch of gnudi.
The gnudi can be served simply with a splash of rapeseed oil, some parmesan shavings, a squeeze of lemon, sea salt and black pepper to taste.
