The black kale is an ingredient that is often found con first courses of Tuscan cuisine, for example con the famous ribollita. Quanto a this recipe, we use it to create a variation of another typical specialty: black kale gnudi! The gnudi are ricotta and spinach dumplings usually served with butter and sage. Instead, we opted for a mushroom sauce with the addition of a creamy Parmesan fondue… a delicious fisima that will make the black kale gnudi even more irresistible. Perfect for the winter season, they will make you appreciate the typical flavors of tradition with an extra touch of creativity!
Don’t these regional variations as well: the strangolapreti from Trentino and the Brescian malfatti!
