タグ: Ugly Delicious

‘Uglier the better’ is rarely something you hear in the Foodie world, but these Italian dumplings are exactly that. Malfatti (“badly made” in Italian — a tongue-in-cheek name for these ‘rustic’ dumplings) are delicate spinach-and-ricotta dumplings, similar to gnudi, and absolutely delicious when done right.

⚠️Now, a quick note on this recipe:

🍳First – ‘Done right’ really means ‘not easy’ and this recipe is a labor of love and not well suited to a weeknight meal. We suggest setting this recipe aside for a weekend, roll up your sleeves, open some wine, and take your time.

🍳Second – Prep work requires a fair amount of bench space and is likely to use most dishes and pots in your kitchen – or at least allow time for a few rounds of cleanup. We’d skip this recipe if you’re cooking in a small kitchen.

✅ The good news is the end result is wonderfully delicious and somewhat ugly dumplings that are just lightly crisped on top and soaked up the Napoli sauce. All that effort is well worth it!
