PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Gnudi pic!"

Gnudi pic!! Get it?? Ha!
Okay, the homemade ricotta was a complete fail on my part. Frody is going to come along and give you a few pointers on what she did. All I can say is DO NOT leave the stove while you are making this. I stepped away for about 30 seconds and I missed the crucial point to add the lemon juice resulting in not much curdling. I added it but not at the right temp. Also, do yourselves a favor. Just use a cheesecloth and the hanging method in Frody’s pics. It will save you hours of headache. Plus, since my ricotta was somewhat soupy (FAIL! It should be firm), we had to add quite a bit of semolina flour to get the gnudis to firm up enough to take shape.

As far as sauce, my delightful and helpful husband made a simple sauce made of chopped tomatoes, green onions and chopped shallot sautéed in olive oil with salt and pepper to taste. Perfect!

Gnudi pic! I didn’t take pics of all the way through as the ricotta fiasco really did a number on my mood.

We will be making this again to perfect ricotta/gnudi making skills. Next up is the Kale chips!

P.S. For what it’s worth, even the soupy ricotta was DE.licious and easily could be made into a dessert. Yum!!
