Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs fresh spinach
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp nutmeg
4 tbsp flour
1/2 cup melted butter
salt and pepper
freshly grated parmesan cheese, to serve

Directions:

Cook the spinach in a large pot for about 5 minutes or until wilted.
Allow to cool a bit, then squeeze the spinach dry as much as possible. This is very important.
Process in a blender or food processor, then transfer to a medium sized bowl.
Add the ricotta, parmesan, eggs and nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper.
Add enough flour to the mixture for a soft dough. Do NOT add too much flour.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into 3-inch sausage-shapes.
Dust lightly with flour.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt lightly.
Gently slide the gnocchi into the water and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until gnocchi float to the surface.
Remove gnocchi with a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm dish.
Pour on the melted butter and sprinkle with the parmesan. Also good with warmed pasta sauce!
