Malfatti are Italian dumplings made with spinach, ricotta, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. These “badly formed” dumplings get their name from their rustic, imperfect shapes, but don’t let their looks fool you—malfatti are bursting with flavor!
Ingredients
2 cups ricotta
20 oz spinach
1 egg
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Flour for coating
1 stick butter, melted for sauce

Excellent, thank you for the effort. It’s nice to put a video to the recipe in the book.
I really hope you will reprint the Emilia Romagna cookbook!!!

If they are she boiled them in chicken broth.
Oh, do these ever look delicious. YES!!! to the cookbook, please.
Carla Lalli Music literally just made a tortelli dish video and had so much leftover filling she didn’t know how to use. She needs to see this!

Oh, boy!! Those look great! I would like two cookbooks when available! Love you guys!!❤❤❤❤❤
It looks delicious. Thank you.
Love this! And what a beautiful table.. much appreciation. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice! In Tuscany they're called gnudi.
I like your idea of using the ice cream scoop, very clever!
Try adding some fresh sage to the butter, it works well with this dish. Ciao!
These are wonderful! I would love your cookbook to be reissued. Some of your recipes are ones I did not ask my excellent mother to give me but I remembered them so fondly. With your help I am able to reproduce those memories. Thank you so much.
Oh this looks wonderful and light! We will definitely try the malfatti! ❤
Trying these tomorrow! Can you use a tomato sauce for the base instead of butter? Also, are you using the ricotta in the "tin" that drains? They look delicious!
"Mange tak" they say here in Denmark, where I am living since 2021 coming from Germany.
When I was looking for the receipe "Lasagne Bolognese" I found you and suscribed your channel at once.
Thank you for the nice and personally presentation – incl. your husband – of all your good tasty receipes!
These are different from anything I’ve ever tried before, but I will definitely try them. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Wouldn't accept my like! 🤷 Will make these! First time I've ever heard of them! Malfatti… I think they look so good! Easy enough to make my goodness me! Very easy!
Did you paint your kitchen? I thought it was lime green, now it's lemon yellow! 🤦 I may be losing it!!?
🙏🤗
My grandma passed down this exact recipe we would make every winter but after boiling she put them in a baking dish with butter and parmesan and baked them in the oven. Not sure where she got the recipe since she wasn't Italian but I can confirm they're delicious!
I 've never seen these before…now I have something new to try! Love you both!
What a breath of fresh air. I love everything about these videos. Best wishes from Nebraska!
So wonderful to see you Jovanna and Harold; they look so yummy!! 😘
