Preparation
- Step 1
Squeeze the spinach with your hands to remove as much moisture as possible. Place the spinach in a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, the ricotta cheese and the eggs, and mix well. Stir in the flour and ¼ cup of the Parmesan cheese. Season carefully to taste with salt and pepper, and add the nutmeg.
- Step 2
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 3
Scoop up heaping teaspoons of the spinach mixture, and in the palms of your hands, roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Set them on a lightly floured surface.
- Step 4
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi, and boil gently for several minutes, until they rise to the surface.
- Step 5
Carefully drain the gnocchi, spread in a warm dish, and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup cheese and serve.
