2 organic egg yolks
2 cups grated parmigiano plus extra 1 cup for table

100 g (3 1/2 oz) unsalted butter | Squeeze all the water out of the spinach. Add to ricotta, egg yolks, parmigiano, salt and pepper and mix very well. Take about 1 tablespoon of this mixture at a time and roll it into little balls, dusting with flour. Boil some salted water, and drop about 10 balls at a time into the water As soon as they float to the surface, they are ready (about 1 minute). With a small sieve, fish them out and put them on a heated serving dish, one next to the other. Put a generous sprinkling of parmigiano over the nudi. Melt butter with sage, when it foams pour it over nudi, then serve immediately. Serves 8 |  |
