1. Add the ricotta, 2 ounces of parmesan, zest of half a lemon and the nutmeg to a mixing bowl. Season generously and stir well to combine.
Step 2
Lay a sheet of baking parchment over a tray or large shallow dish and dust it with the coconut flour.
Step 3
Dividing the cheese mixture evenly with your hands, roll into individual balls. You should get approximately 28 gnudi from the mixture.
Step 4
Roll the invididual balls in the coconut flour so that they are dusted lightly all over.
Step 5
Once you have dusted all the gnudi, transfer to the fridge overnight to firm up. There is no need to cover the tray.
Step 6
When you are ready to cook the gnudi, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large oven tray with baking parchment.
Step 7
Arrange the gnudi across the tray, shaking off any excess coconut flour. Transfer to the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes until hot through and slightly golden.
Step 8
Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the cooked gnudi, turning them gently in the butter. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
Step 9
Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan to serve and scatter with fresh chopped basil.
