Istruzioni

Cook the spinach with oil in a large pan, just stir them for 10 min. Let them cool down and blend them completely using a food processor. ⁣

Make the batter. In a large ball whisk the blended spinach with eggs, water, salt and nutmeg. Keep whisking and add flour. Keep whisking until you get to a thick batter.

Prepare gnocchi's sauce. In a large pan melt butter over a low heat. Grate some Parmesan and keep it on a side.

Shape and cook gnocchi. Fill up a large and tall pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add salt and a spoon of oil. With the help of 2 teaspoons take a small portion of the mixture and shape it to a quenelle (oval shape). It doesn't have to be perfect. Now put the spoon into the boiling water and move it gently to drop the quenelle in it. When the spinach gnocchi are rising to the surface of the water, it means they are ready and you can drain them using a skimmer.

Serve. Toss the spinach gnocchi inside the pen with melted butter, but do not toast them . Add Parmesan and serve it hot.
