Spinach Gnocchi (potato dumplings) image

I saw a couple other spinach gnocchi recipes on here, but this is a bit different so I thought I'd post it. It is very filling and great with a side of steamed broccoli. The prep time is mostly chilling.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs baking potatoes
5 ounces spinach leaves
6 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
as much of your favorite tomato sauce, you like (I like tomato and basil)

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and boil in salted water about 20 minutes or until able to mash, then place in a large mixing bowl and well.
  • Mash.
  • Steam spinach in a couple tbsp water covered about 5 minutes or until wilted, then remove and pat dry with a paper towl.
  • Chop spinach into approximately 1/4 inch pieces and then mix into potatoes.
  • Add butter, egg, garlic salt, and half of the flour and mix together well.
  • Place dough onto a floured surface and knead in the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Roll dough into about 1 inch thick ropes then cut off 1 inch pieces and roll into a ball.
  • With floured hands press the center of each dumpling to form a trough in the middle.
  • Allow gnocchi to chill for about an hour, then place in salted boiling water and allow to cook about 5 minutes.
  • Drain and serve with tomato sauce.
