Gnudi

Gnudi ([ˈɲuːdi]) are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese instead of potato, with semolina. The result is often a lighter, "pillowy" dish, unlike the often denser, chewier gnocchi. Gnudi is an English-adopted Tuscan word for the Italian term "nudi" (naked), the idea being that these "pillowy" balls of ricotta (and sometimes spinach) are "nude ravioli", consisting of just the tasty filling without the pasta shell.
