Malfatti is a type of gnocchi . . .

Malfatti is a type of gnocchi . . .
Did u know what a Malfatti (spinach and ricotta gnocchi) means?
Malfatti are spinach and ricotta dumplings or gnocchi from Emilia in Northern Italy.
The name malfatti means ‘badly made’ because of the rustic look of the gnocchi as they vary in size and shape.
They can be served as a first course or as a light main course with bread and salad.
Another name for this type of gnocchi is ravioli gnudi, meaning ‘naked ravioli’ because they are like the ravioli filling without the pasta.
Actually Malfatti are badly made or ill-shaped, because these "gnocchi" are made of the filling for a ravioli, and therefore not enclosed and defined by the dough. Delicious nonetheless, delicate in flavor. Serve with a mixture of melted butter and Parmesan cheese, or a very light creamy tomato sauce.
