Categories     Spinach

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

36 ounces fresh spinach, tough stems removed (2 lb 4 oz)
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more
all-purpose flour, for dusting
salt and pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • Wash the spinach, then place in a pan with just the water that clings to its leaves. Cover. Cook over low heat for 6-8 minutes or until wilted. Drain well and set aside.
  • Squeeze out as much liquid as possible then finely chop the spinach. A processor works well for this. Place the spinach in a bowl along with the ricotta cheese, half the Parmesan cheese, the eggs, nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Beat until thoroughly combined. Sift in the flour and lightly work it into the mixture, adding enough to make a workable mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • With floured hands, break off small pieces of the mixture and roll into walnut-size balls. Handle as little as possible, they are delicate. Lightly dust the gnocchi with flour.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boiling point. Add the gnocchi and cook 2-3 minutes until they rise to the surface. Remove from pan and drain well.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter for the herb mixture in a large, heavy-bottom skillet over low heat. Add the oregano and sage and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the gnocchi and toss gently to coat. Transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

I'm allergic to ricotta cheese. Do you think I could substitute another type of cheese in this recipe?

I followed the recipe exactly and my gnocchi turned out gummy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These gnocchi were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added more salt and pepper to the dough.

These gnocchi were easy to make and turned out great. I used frozen spinach and it worked just fine. I also added a bit of garlic to the ricotta filling for extra flavor.

I made these gnocchi for a dinner party and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. I especially liked the crispy edges that formed when I pan-fried them.

These gnocchi were a delight! The spinach and ricotta filling was creamy and flavorful, and the gnocchi themselves were light and fluffy. I served them with a simple tomato sauce and they were perfect.
