Clean and wash the spinach, drain well, put some leaves aside for garnishing and chop the rest of the spinach coarsely. Peel onions and garlic and dice very finely. Heat 20 g butter in a frying pan, add onions and garlic and fry until translucent. Take out and let cool down
Pour the ricotta into a sieve and drain well. Coarsely grate the white bread. Mix ricotta and eggs well. Add onions, bread, cheese and starch and mix well. Mix in the spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Leave covered for about 30 minutes. Then form 8 dumplings with floured hands (sticks a bit). Put the dumplings into a wide pot with boiling salted water, let them simmer at low heat for about 8 minutes until they rise
Meanwhile brown 50 g butter in a small saucepan. Lift the dumplings very carefully out of the water with a ladle (they are very tender and soft), let them drip off a little. Arrange two dumplings each with spinach leaves and browned butter on plates
Waiting time approx. 30 minutes
