DIRECTIONS
Sprinkle semolina evenly on a baking sheet; set aside.
In a large bowl, add drained ricotta, spinach, garlic, cheese, eggs, chives, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt and pepper; mix until well blended.
Scoop up about 1 ½ tablespoons spinach mixture and form a ball before rolling it in the flour until well coated, shaking off any excess flour. Place it on the prepared baking sheet while rolling and coating the others.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Working in batches, carefully add gnudi and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Scoop them up with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a baking sheet.
Spoon some marinara sauce in each bowl and place 5 gnudi per bowl. Sprinkle with cheese and garnish with Italian parsley.
