Ingredients 

  • 200 g baby spinach fresh
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 140 g ricotta cheese
  • 85 g white flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g Parmesan grated
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

To serve:

  • 1 cup arugula
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl, put the spinach and cover the spinach with boiling water. Leave the spinach in the water for around 2 minutes.
  • Drain the water and transfer the remaining spinach to a kitchen towel. Squeeze the spinach well in a towel to remove the liquid. Finely chop the spinach.
  • In a bowl, put chopped spinach, parsley, garlic, ricotta, flour, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients with a spatula or fork until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • With the help of wet hands, form the composition into balls, approximately the size of a walnut. Put the balls on a tray or a plate and set aside in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil, in a large pot, over high heat. After it starts boiling, lower the heat to medium and cook the gnocchi. Add 8-10 pieces to the pot, at a time, making sure they don't stick together.
  • After the gnocchi come to the surface of the water, let them boil for one more minute and then take them out on a plate.
  • To keep them warm, you can put them in a hot oven.
  • Serve gnocchi with fresh arugula leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
