Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

kosher salt
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 1/2 c whole milk ricotta
1 c grated parmesan cheese
6 Tbsp all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 large eggs
freshly ground pepepr
pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 c prepared marinara sauce
2 Tbsp butter, unsalted, cut into pieces
crusty bread for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large, wide pot of salted water to a simmer. Put the spinach in a large bowl and separate it with your hands. Add the ricotta, 3/4 cup parmesan, the flour, eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg. Mix with a fork to form a slightly sticky dough.
  • 2. Spread some flour on a plate. Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of the spinach-ricotta mixture and roll into about 24 loose balls using floured hands. Gently roll the balls in the flour.
  • 3. Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the butter.
  • 4. Meanwhile, gently lower the dumplings into the simmering water and cook until they rise to the surface and are firm, about 5 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, letting the water drain off, and add to the sauce. Gently toss to coat, then transfer to plates and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Serve with bread.

These dumplings are a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese in the filling. The dumplings still turned out great!

These dumplings are a great way to use up leftover spinach. I also like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the filling for extra flavor.

These dumplings were a disaster! They fell apart when I tried to cook them and they tasted terrible.

I love these dumplings! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I've made them for parties, potlucks, and even just for a quick weeknight meal.

These dumplings were a bit too heavy for my taste. The ricotta filling was a bit too thick and the dumplings were a bit too dense.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dumplings turned out great! They were light and fluffy, and the spinach and ricotta filling was delicious. I served them with a simple tomato sauce and they were a hit with my family.

These dumplings were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more herbs or spices.

I was a bit hesitant to try these dumplings because I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I'm so glad I did! The spinach flavor was very mild and the dumplings were so light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.

These dumplings were an absolute delight! The combination of spinach, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese created a flavor profile that was both delicate and satisfying. The texture was perfect, with a slightly crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.
