Sneha's Recipe: Ravoili

Malfatti (Italian spinach ricotta dumplings) is Naked Pasta In Tomato Sauce. Gnudi or Malfatti, as they are also known, are a kind of gnocchi - balls/rolls of spinach and ricotta without any pasta covering them. The difference only is Malfatti (badly made) in Northern Italy, Gnudi (naked) in Florence.
I’ve heard it said that these rustic, poorly made, naked ravioli have a long history, going back to Roman times, and perhaps even earlier.

Ingredients
For The Sauce
4 Large Tomatoes - blanched & peeled
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
4 Cloves Garlic - chopped
1 Medium Onion - chopped

1 Teaspoon Dried Parsley
1 Teaspoon Thyme
