Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 8
1 Combine the ricotta, Pecorino, yolks, herbs and nutmeg in a bowl and beat well. Add 100g semolina, then stir until smooth. Take walnut-sized pieces and roll into balls, then roll in semolina. Once all the balls are made, cover in semolina and refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight.
2 Shake off the excess semolina, then cook the gnudi in rapidly-boiling salted water until they float. Meanwhile, heat the butter and sage in a wide pan until lightly-golden, then add the gnudi. Once caramelised, mix in the fennel. Finally, add the pine nuts and lemon juice.
