      Directions

      In a bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmigiano cheese, flour, nutmeg, egg yolks, and salt and pepper. Knead the mixture until it becomes a doughy consistency. If the mixture appears to be too moist, add a bit more flour, as needed. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for half an hour.

      Grab a handful of dough at a time and roll it into 1-inch thick logs. Cut each log into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece of dough against a cheese grater to create ridges. These ridges will help trap the sauce on each cooked dunderi. Dust a baking tray with flour and place the dunderi on top so they won't stick together.

      In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the dunderi for 5 minutes, or until they float to the top. Mix with your choice of sauce, and serve immediately.

        This is the best gnocchi recipe that I have ever used. The gnocchi come out light and airy, with a flavor that is distinctive (I think it is due to the nutmeg, which is not at all overpowering. I served it with a basil pesto for a dinner party and everyone loved it, especially how light an airy they were. Delicious.

        The dunderi proved to have flavors that were both bold and delicate and was incredibly easy to make. I haven't watched this episode and didn't have a picture to work from, so I am afraid that my little pastas look nothing like they should, but they did taste delicious. I learned that the dough can handle -- and likes -- liberal seasoning with salt and pepper, which sharpens the gentle cheese flavors and helps to balance the pasta with the sauce.
