Gnudi- it means naked in Italian
So, I was watching Giada De Laurentis on her show called Everyday Italian earlier this week and she was making this dish called Gnudi- basically it’s the insides of the ravioli without the pasta exterior. On her show she made it just by itself with a simple marinara sauce but I made mine with some angel hair pasta. It was simple dish that took barely any time. Main ingredients- ricotta cheese, Frozen, thawed Spinach and Parmesan cheese- it doesn’t get any better than that. I love cooking at home.
Yea, I thought it was odd too, You’re probably wondering how did I cook it the Gnudi? Well, surprisingly they are boiled. When they float to the top within 3-4 minutes, they are done.
I wasn’t shocked that it wouldn’t be good but I was shocked on how filling they were. I made 8 patties, 2 for my lunch tomorrow and 3 each with dinner for my husband and I. I could only get through 1 patty plus the cup of pasta noodles. So, now my husband gets leftovers tomorrow for my lunch and so do I.
Giada’s cooking looks so good. She makes it look so easy. Plus, she makes food look good even healthy food. Her Healthy Snacks episode makes me want to eat all the goodies she made too. Thank goodness I get off work around 4 pm. Then I can watch her show when I get home around 4:30 pm PST.
NO I DON’T HAVE TIVO AND I LET THE TV CONTROL WHEN I WATCH IT.
