Gnudi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɲuːdi]) are gnocchi-like dumplings made with ricotta cheese instead of potato,[1] with very little or no flour.[2][3] The result is often a lighter, "pillowy" dish, unlike the often denser, chewier gnocchi.[4] Gnudi is an English-adopted onomatopoeic word for the Italian term "nude" (naked),[5] 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.[6][7] [8] [9]

In Italy they are known as "strangolapreti" (priest choker) or simply as "gnocchi di ricotta e spinaci" (ricotta and spinach gnocchi).

Gnudi became a popular dish after a special version was served at The Spotted Pig restaurant in New York.[10]
