Best Recipe for Spinach Gnocchi

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces block frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, plus 2 tbsp for sprinkling before serving.
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons flour, plus more for dusting your hands while rolling

Instructions

  1. Defrost the brick of frozen spinach (you can also do this in the microwave).
  2. Squeeze ALL (and I mean ALL) of the water out of the spinach in small handfuls (I use my hands and do it over a bowl to make sure I don't lose any spinach).
  3. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse. You want to make sure the spinach is in tiny pieces and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  4. Dust your hands with a little flour so the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
  5. Take 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture and roll into tiny balls. Place on a plate covered with waxed paper or parchment.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking the gnocchi.
  7. Add the gnocchi to the water in batches and cook for 3 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
  8. Using a slotted spoon, remove the gnocchi to a plate or bowl.
  9. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, cool and serve.
  10. To Freeze: After step 5, place on sheet tray and freeze for 30 minutes. Transfer to a ziploc bag, label and freeze up to 4 months. When ready, thaw to room temperature and follow steps 6-9.
