Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 1 1⁄2 kg leaf spinach
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 300 g creamy ricotta
  • 2 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 300 g Parmesan (piece)
  • 1 (approx. 200 g) coffee mug + some flour
  • 4 Stem(s) Sage
  • 1 piece(s) (approx. 50 g) Butter

Directions

  1. 1

    Sort the spinach, wash and drain. Boil up the spinach in 3-4 portions in a large pot, each with a little water and approx. 1⁄2 TL salt covered and blanch for approx. 2 minutes until the spinach collapses.

  2. 2

    Drain the spinach, let it cool down and squeeze it out very well. Put the spinach, ricotta and eggs in a large bowl. Grate parmesan finely and add approx. 3⁄4 Mix everything with a fork to a mass.

  3. 3

    Dust a tray or tray with flour. Gradually stir only so much flour (approx. 200 g) with a wooden spoon into the spinach mixture that the dough is still soft but can be formed into gnocchi.

  4. 4

    Then form the dough into gnocchi with floured hands. Dust hands and gnocchi with flour again and again to prevent them from sticking to hands and tray.

  5. 5

    Bring 3-4 l salted water to the boil in a wide saucepan (approx. 1 teaspoon salt per litre). Carefully add the gnocchi in 2-3 portions and cook for 2-3 minutes at low heat. As soon as they float on the surface of the water, lift them out with a skimmer, let them drip off a little and spread them on a large plate.

  6. 6

    Wash the sage, dab dry and remove the leaves. Melt butter in a pot. Add the sage and warm up briefly. Sprinkle sage butter over the gnocchi and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
