Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi image

This is a gnocchi that Popeye would be proud of. Packed with spinach and creamy ricotta, these little morsels are like soft pillows--delicate yet so easy to make. You could serve them with a little red sauce, but for easier cleanup, I highly recommend just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and that's it!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
One 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for serving
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Squeeze the spinach completely dry, in small handfuls, over a bowl. Transfer the spinach to a food processor. Add the ricotta, 2/3 cup Parmesan, they egg yolk and 2 tablespoons flour; pulse until the spinach is very finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • Lightly dust your hands with flour so the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Scoop 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture and roll into a ball. Place on a plate and cover with wax paper or parchment. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should have about 40 gnocchi.
  • Working in batches, boil the gnocchi until they rise to the surface, about 3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi with a slotted spoon or mesh spider and transfer to a plate or bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan, let cool slightly and serve.

I made these gnocchi for my family and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the crispy edges of the gnocchi.

These gnocchi were a bit of a disappointment. The spinach and ricotta filling was bland and the pasta was overcooked. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster! The gnocchi were too soft and the filling was bland. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gnocchi turned out really gummy. I think I might have overcooked them.

5/5 stars! This recipe was easy to follow and the gnocchi turned out perfectly. The spinach and ricotta filling was delicious and the pasta was cooked al dente. I served it with a simple tomato sauce and it was a hit with my family.

Meh. The gnocchi were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more seasoning next time.
