Ingredients 

  • 1 cauliflower
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 1 head garlic minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Break the cauliflower into florets.
  • Boil or steam them for 10 minutes (I steamed them).
  • Transfer to a clean towel and squeeze to get rid of as much moisture as you can.
  • Combine the cauliflower, flour, salt and olive oil in a food processor and blend until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes.
  • Shape the gnocchi and roll them on a fork to create the lines.
  • Boil in well-salted water until they rise to the surface.
  • Heat the oil in a pan. Add the garlic.
  • Add the spinach and cook it until it gets soft.
  • Add the gnocchi, toss to combine, and take off the heat.

Notes

Serve right away while the gnocchi are warm, tossed with a little olive oil so they don't stick. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently in a pan. Uncooked shaped gnocchi can also be frozen on a tray, then boiled straight from frozen.
