Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 1/2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 large eggs
Freshly ground pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the butter.
  • 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.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Ricotta cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the dumplings. Be sure to use whole-milk ricotta for the richest flavor.
  • All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used for dumplings. However, you can also use bread flour or semolina flour for a chewier texture.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dumpling dough. Overmixing will make the dumplings tough.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking together.
  • Cook the dumplings until they float to the top of the pot. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite sauce. Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Spinach ricotta dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
