| Possibly what you're looking for is spinach gnocci (pronouced NOH-kee)? It is a spinach and ricotta mixture, baked or boiled (I have no luck with the boil method) and then served with marinara sauce. Here it is: 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 Tbs. butter or margarine
1 10oz pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained well (or equivelant of fresh, chopped, cooked and drained)
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Cook onion in 2 Tbs. butter or margarine till tender. Add spinach. Cook for 5-7 minutes or till spinach is tender and liquid is evaporated, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Combine egg yolk, next 5 ingredients, and spinach mixture. Use about 1 Tbs. mixture for each gnocci. With lightly floured hands, shape into compact balls, coating lightly with flour. Cook several at a time in a large pot of gently boiling salted water about 4 minutes or till they rise to the surface. Remove, drain on paper toweling. Serve immediately with marinara sauce or spagetti sauce, top lightly with parmesan. Or can be served in soup broth. Makes about 4 servings *I omit the cooking of the onion and spinach if I'm using frozen spinach. I simply cook the spinach in the microwave in it's store container (paper removed and pkg. opened) for 6 minutes. Then I drain and continue following the recipe. Since I have very little luck with the boiling water method, I now bake my gnocci in the oven at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. |
