Gnudi- Naked Ravioli
Ingredients
Ravioli Gnudi
200 gr spinach
200 gr ricotta
2 eggs
2 tablespoons IMPRONTA EVOO
3/4 cup flour, plus more for dusting the outside ( Italians use 00 lighter flour)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt
3 Tbs parmesan
Instructions
Cook spinach in very little water. Drain and squeeze out all excess water. Chop finely.
Place in a large bowl and add ricotta, eggs, parmesan, and flour.
Season the spinach mixture with salt, and nutmeg, and drizzle a couple of tablespoons of IMPRONTA EVOO. Blend well.
Bring to boil a large pot of salted water. Lower to simmer.
Form the gnudi by using a tablespoon or, using floured hands, make small walnut-sized dumplings.
Be sure the gnudi are covered with a good coating of flour before poaching, this is their protection.
Drop a few at a time into salted water.
They will drop to the bottom and then float to the top when done.
Let simmer 20-30 seconds more before removing with a perforated ladle.
Place in a warm oven in an ovenproof dish until ready to serve.
They are wonderful topped with fresh sage leaves sauteed in butter until crisp.
Pour butter and sage on top of the ravioli.
Toss gently and serve with parmesan cheese.
They cook quickly, but sometimes you want to prepare ahead of time. You can precook the gnudi and they can stay hot or be reheated in the oven.
They are great with a simple flavorful tomato sauce, I place them on the tomato sauce and then add some grated Parmigiano.

Marco Rizzo is a young Cilento farm with an olive oil mill that produces organic extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed and with a high sensorial profile. Through a work of recovery and study of native cultivars and the organoleptic profiles that derive from them, we were able to express in our extra virgin olive oils the strong and elegant character of a little-known olive heritage, launching the sensorial originality of minor varieties on an international scale. The passion for nature, for the land, for a job that we like and the challenge aimed at raising the quality bar more every year, has led us over time to specialize in profiling, with refined processing techniques, oils from major Italian cultivars, so much so that they become the main actors of a real consultancy school in national and international production contexts. The marcorizzo EVO BIO range – Slow Food presidium – consists of a blend and three monovarietals, recognized in competitions and sector guides, among the best extra virgin olive oils in Italy.
“We believe in a quality project accessible to all, in eating well, healthy and conscious. Artisan care, product freshness and respect for the consumer represent the essence of our work”.

Why does olive oil get cloudy and thick?
Probably at some point you’ve seen some white lumps in the olive oil you store at home, but you know why?
If you’re a long time olive oil user then it’s possible that at some point you’ve noticed white crystals in the olive oil you keep at home. But do you know what they are and why they are there?
To explain, let’s start by comparing the freezing process of olive oil and water:
Water is a homogeneous liquid made entirely of H2O (hydrogen and oxygen) molecules. Since it’s made of one type of molecule, all of its particles freeze at the same temperature: 0ºC (32º fahrenheit). As the temperature lowers, the movement of the water molecules becomes slower until the water reaches freezing temperature at 0ºC, at this point the molecules stop moving and the water freezes and becomes solid: ice.
A similar process takes places with olive oil, but olive oil is not a homogeneous liquid like water is. The difference is that olive oil is made of a few different molecules, called triglycerides, and each has its own freezing temperature. The freezing point of these different molecules ranges between 0ºC and 15ºC depending on the fatty acid composition. The colder the olive oil gets, the greater the number of molecules that will start solidifying. Cold temperatures is the reason some white crystals may appear in your bottle of olive oil, especially during winter months.
Does that mean the olive oil is not good to use?
Not at all! The olive is perfectly fine without causing any nutrient loss. The freezing process is perfectly natural and has no impact on the quality of the olive oil.
Not at all! The olive is perfectly fine; in fact, freezing olive oil will keep it fresh for longer without causing any nutrient loss. The freezing process is perfectly natural and has no impact on the quality of the olive oil.
In colder homes and countries in the Europe, olive oil can freeze under normal conditions, especially during the winter. In these cases, don’t worry and just remember that it’s actually better to store olive oil at a cold temperature. Cold temperatures prevent degradation of the olive oil., be sure to store your olive oil in the coldest place in your kitchen or pantry, to keep it as fresh as the first day you got it.
