Author's Notes: We were recently joined by Chef David Turin to teach a cooking class in our Portland store kitchen. He taught us how to create pillowy gluten-free ricotta gnudi. Paired with bacon lardons, arugula, fresh sage, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, this dish will quickly become part of your weeknight repertoire.
