Food porn: ricotta gnudi, sweet 100 tomatoes, nicoise crumble, petite basil

Lunch, when you’re working at the Kittle House, is a daily treat. They call it the family meal, and everyone sits down with an entree of choice to relax in the middle of a shift. Like a smattering of earth, crumbled olives are sprinkled over sweet 100 tomatoes and an unusual preparation of gnudi, which means nude in Italian. Normally gnocchi’s lighter, creamier cousin – made of ricotta, sometimes spinach, and akin to ravioli minus the doughy exterior – this gnudi is made by steeping ricotta balls in sorghum flour overnight, then fishing out the delicious results. Pregnant, newly clothed, and adorned with basil, and roundness echoed in the tomatoes, they’re creamy, indulgent, and oh-so-photogenic.

    I know, I think I’ve been avoiding it because I’m afraid it would cause deep feelings of jealousy and disatisfaction that I lack my own movie deal.

    But I will be sure to see it!
