Ingredients
  

  • 1 block 14 ounces tofu, pressed and crumbled
  • 2 cups spinach chopped and sautéed
  • Salt pepper, garlic powder to taste
  • 2 tablespoons miso white or yellow
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups marinara sauce for serving
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped and sautéed

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Tofu Ricotta: Press the tofu to remove excess water. Crumble it into a large mixing bowl.
  • Sauté Spinach and Onions: Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Sauté the spinach and onions until the spinach is wilted and the onions are translucent.
  • Mix Ingredients: Add the sautéed spinach and onions to the tofu. Mix in the miso, nutritional yeast, and seasonings until well combined.
  • Form Gnudi: Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into small dumplings. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Cook Gnudi: Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully drop the gnudi into the water and cook until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate.
  • Serve: Warm the marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat. Serve the gnudi topped with the marinara sauce and fresh basil if desired.
