Nudi with Cheese and Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

Ricotta cheese - 2 cups
Large Chicken Egg - 1 piece
Egg Yolk - 1 piece
Ground Black Pepper - 1 teaspoon
Grated Parmesan cheese - 2.1 oz
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Tomato Sauce - 3 cups

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Thoroughly mix the ricotta, egg, egg yolk, pepper, 1/2 cup of parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of flour, mix well, and form into a ball (the mixture should be soft and moist with bits of ricotta; if the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour).

Step 2

Dust a baking sheet with flour. Using 2 tablespoons, shape pieces of dough into an oval form (similar to a rugby ball); place the nudi on the baking sheet and sprinkle with flour (you should get about 30 pieces).

Step 3

Boil the nudi in a large pot of salted boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked for 5–6 minutes (the nudi will float almost immediately, but this is not an indicator of doneness: they must be boiled for the required time, otherwise the centers will remain raw).
