Gnudi is a ricotta based dumpling that resembles the filling of ravioli. So it is ideal for those looking to lower their carbs or to serve with crusty bread or plain pasta on the side.
If you or others in your family don’t like whole pieces of tomatoes or you just want to make this even easier, go ahead and use your favorite prepared pasta sauce instead of tomatoes.
