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.
