Swiss Chard Ricotta Gnudi with Fall MushroomsTom Schierlitz

Gnudi is a type of gnocchi, made from ricotta cheese and a little bit of flour. The result is a dumpling that's as light and fluffy as a cloud. The dumpling dough needs to chill overnight, so begin this one day ahead.

Test-kitchen tip:

Tough gnudi? Try boiling the dumplings longer; the flour has to cook before they'll be tender.
