My Day as a Gnudist

Gnudi. Translated into Italian: nude. Culinary translation: a luxurious ricotta filling of a ravioli gone rogue, pasta blouse wantonly shed, a dumpling Lady Godiva. What it most closely resembles is a potato gnocchi. But what it brings to the table is a fluffiness and buoyancy, ahem, often missing from it's nightshade counterpart. And while this is a savory dumpling, I couldn't help but imagine these glorious pillows translated into the sweet language of dessert as well.
