SPINACH AND RICOTTA GNOCCHI



Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi image

This is a gnocchi that Popeye would be proud of. Packed with spinach and creamy ricotta, these little morsels are like soft pillows--delicate yet so easy to make. You could serve them with a little red sauce, but for easier cleanup, I highly recommend just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and that's it!

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
One 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for serving
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Squeeze the spinach completely dry, in small handfuls, over a bowl. Transfer the spinach to a food processor. Add the ricotta, 2/3 cup Parmesan, they egg yolk and 2 tablespoons flour; pulse until the spinach is very finely chopped and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • Lightly dust your hands with flour so the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Scoop 1 teaspoon of the spinach mixture and roll into a ball. Place on a plate and cover with wax paper or parchment. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You should have about 40 gnocchi.
  • Working in batches, boil the gnocchi until they rise to the surface, about 3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi with a slotted spoon or mesh spider and transfer to a plate or bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan, let cool slightly and serve.

Time 38m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds fresh spinach (about 3 bunches)
1 (16-ounce) container ricotta cheese
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 handfuls fresh sage

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot salted water to a boil.
  • Cut the stems off the spinach, and soak the leaves in the sink. Wash them thoroughly.
  • Add the spinach to the boiling water and cook 1 minute. Remove spinach from the water and plunge in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
  • Drain the spinach very well, and using a clean tea towel, squeeze out the extra water. Chop the leaves very fine.
  • Put the cooked spinach in a large bowl, add the ricotta, 3 tablespoons Parmesan, egg yolks, and season with a couple pinches salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Mix well, and make sure that the ricotta crumbles into fine pieces, and mixes properly with the spinach. Shape the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts.
  • Lightly butter a 13 by 9-inch casserole dish, lay all the gnocchi in it, and dress it with a few very thin slices butter and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Cook the gnocchi at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, and then use the broiler for the last 5 minutes to crisp and brown the top of the spinach balls.
  • In a medium skillet, melt the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, and saute the sage until it starts to brown. Serve the gnocchi on a warm plate and dress with the sage-butter sauce, and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan.

SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE GNOCCHI



Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi image

Spinach and ricotta gnocchi are a first course reserved for my very favorite guests...and they are a traditional Tuscan favorite! These have a vibrant forest green color and are light and fluffy. As with most dough preparations for gnocchi, it is the amount of flour used that will determine if their texture is light or leaden. Be sure to really squeeze as much water as possible out of the spinach or you will end up using too much flour. Patience is a virtue when making gnocchi.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
2 lbs fresh spinach, washed and stemmed
2/3 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated
2 large eggs
12 mint leaves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1 dash white pepper
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, approximately
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 small sage leaves, minced

Steps:

  • Drain the ricotta cheese in a cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a bowl until it is very dry. Transfer the cheese to a large bowl and set it aside.
  • Cook the spinach in batches in a covered large soup pot with no additional water until the spinach has wilted. Drain it in a colander, and when cool enough to handle, squeeze the spinach as dry as possible with your hands to remove excess water. You should have about 2 cups of squeezed spinach.
  • Chop the spinach coarsely, then purée it in a blender or food processor until it is very smooth. Transfer the spinach to the bowl with the cheese and stir in 1/3 cup of the grated cheese, eggs, mint, salt, nutmeg and pepper, and mix well. Begin adding the flour a little at a time until a soft dough is obtained and is not sticking to your hands.
  • It is easier to form the gnocchi if the dough is refrigerated for several hours or overnight.
  • Lightly flour a work surface. Using two soupspoons, shape heaping tablespoons of the dough into an oval or egg shape then gently slide the dough off the spoon onto the floured surface.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. With a spoon, scoop up about 8 to 10 gnocchi at a time and add them to the water. Boil them until they float.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large sauté pan and stir in the sage leaves. Cover the pan and keep the sauce warm.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove and transfer the gnocchi to the sauce tossing them gently until well coated with the sauce.
  • Divide between 8 individual plates and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup of cheese. Serve hot.
