Kale Malfatti with Brown Butter and Pumpkin from Chef Jenn Louis’ next cookbook, Book of Greens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Book of Greens<\/a>\u00a0from Portland Chef Jenn Louis comes out in April, but I\u2019m not going to be able to wait that long to talk about the kale malfatti with brown butter and pumpkin.By then, we\u2019ll be at the very tail end of squash season, and you don\u2019t want to miss out on making this one. If this recipe was the teaser, I can\u2019t wait to cook from the rest of the book.<\/p>\n

Malfatti are simply little ricotta dumplings or gnocchi roughly shaped into disks. I\u2019d never made them before, though I\u2019ve eaten my fair share of ricotta gnocchi. In a way, they\u2019re like\u00a0the ricotta and spinach mixture in an Americanized lasagna. Instead of holding up some noodles, these little dumplings get to stand out on their own, matched with sweet butternut squash cooked in brown butter.<\/p>\n

The word malfatti means \u201cbadly made,\u201d so the lumps and the bumps are par for the course. No one is expecting perfection.\u00a0And with a “dough” as moist as this one, you’re not gonna get it. Both fresh and grocery store ricotta produced a wet dough, it\u2019s just the nature of the beast. You shouldn’t expect to roll these between your hands into balls. Even swirling them in a wine glass was a stretch, they\u2019re much too delicate for that.\u00a0You\u2019ll want to have plenty of semolina on hand, and a well-floured baking sheet. Don\u2019t skimp.<\/p>\n

Like I said, the point here isn\u2019t a perfectly shaped disk, so don\u2019t be put off. These dumplings\u00a0are easy to make and they\u2019re delicious. OJ\u00a0gobbled these up after I shot them, marveling,\u00a0\u201cWow, these are really good.”<\/p>\n

Book of Greens<\/a>\u00a0is due out April 11, 2017. Jenn Louis\u2019 first book Pasta By Hand<\/a>\u00a0is available now.<\/p>\n\t\r\n\t
