Particularly associated with Tuscany and central Italy, bomboloni are commonly enjoyed as a breakfast pastry or sweet treat and are best served fresh while still soft and tender.

Gnudi are delicate Tuscan dumplings made primarily with ricotta and spinach. Their name means “naked” in the Tuscan dialect, referring to the fact that they resemble the filling of ravioli without the pasta surrounding it.
Soft and light in texture, these dumplings are gently cooked and finished in a rich brown butter and sage sauce. The nutty butter, fragrant sage and Parmesan beautifully complement the mild and creamy ricotta filling.
