Ndundari di Ricotta di Minori
Campania — Minori, Amalfi Coast
Minori's ancient gnocchi — one of the oldest documented pasta preparations in Italy, first recorded in the 11th century. Made purely from fresh ricotta and flour (no egg, no potato), ndundari are rustic, tender, and intensely creamy. The recipe is remarkably simple: ricotta, 00 flour, salt — but the technique of not overworking the dough and cooking immediately is essential. Named 'ndundari' for the sound they make when they fall into boiling water. Dressed traditionally with a quick tomato and basil sauce and fresh Fior di Latte.
