SPINACH AND RICOTTA GNOCCHI
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!

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.

- Mix spinach, ricotta, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and nutmeg in bowl until slightly sticky dough forms.
- Dust baking sheet with flour. Working in batches and using floured hands, roll 1/4 cup dough on floured work surface to form 5-inch-long rope. Cut rope into 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece between palms to form oval. Transfer gnocchi to prepared baking sheet. Repeat rolling, cutting and shaping with remaining dough. Working in batches, add gnocchi to pot of boiling salted water; cook until gnocchi rise to surface. Cook 4 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, remove gnocchi from water; drain.

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.

Steps:
- Boil the kettle. Place the spinach in a large bowl and pour boiling water over it. Leave for 2 mins until wilted, then drain thoroughly. Leave to cool, then wrap a clean tea towel around the spinach. Hold it over the sink and squeeze out as much water as possible. Finely chop.
- Place the spinach, parsley, garlic, ricotta, flour, eggs, cheese and a generous grating of nutmeg into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Use a fork to stir very thoroughly until everything is completely mixed. Using wet hands, form the mixture into walnut-size balls. Place on a large plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 mins.
- When ready to cook, heat the oven to warm and bring a large pan of water to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and drop in batches of about 8-10 gnocchi at a time. They will sink to the bottom, and when they rise to the top give them about 1 min more, then remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm while you cook the rest. Serve the gnocchi on warm plates drizzled with olive oil and scattered with rocket and more cheese.

BAKED SPINACH GNOCCHI
My previous experience of making traditional Italian gnocchi left me thinking that it was too time consuming(and sticky) to ever try making gnocchi again. Luckily I came across this recipe when searching for and posting recipes for the Zaar World Tour 2005. The recipe comes from "Best-Ever Cook's Collection: Vegetarian" and is super easy to make and tastes great too; what's more, it loks very swanky if baked as individual portions in gratin dishes. I think this recipe is a winner and I now make this regularly and serve it with a rich tomato sauce. Preparation time does not include cooling/chilling time for the gnocchi, but for weekday eating I find it convenient to make the gnocchi mixture a day in advance, while I'm preparing another meal; cutting out and baking the gnocchi the next day is a very quick step.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat the milk and when just on the point of boiling, sprinkle in the semolina in a steady stream, stirring briskly with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer the semolina for 2 minutes then remove from the heat and stir in half the butter, most of the cheese (leave some for topping the bake) and the spinach, nutmeg and salt and pepper; allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the eggs then tip the mixture out onto a shallow baking sheet, spreading it out to 1 ½inch thickness; allow to cool completely, then chill until solid.
- Stamp out the gnocchi with a plain round cutter with a diameter of 1 ½ inches; reserve the trimmings.
- Place the trimmings in the base of a greased shallow ovenproof dish then arrange the gnocchi rounds on top; brush the tops with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the last of the cheese.
- Bake in an oven pre-heated to 375 F, 190 C, gas mark 5, for about 35 minutes until crisp and golden on top; serve hot sprinkled with extra cheese.

SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE GNOCCHI
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.

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.

Steps:
- Bring a large Dutch oven of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large, ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes.
- Add the half-and-half and simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the nutmeg.

- Using a soupspoon, drop 10 to 12 generous spoonfuls of dough into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes; gently stir the gnocchi. When the gnocchi rise to the surface, cook for about 3 minutes more.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Add the gnocchi to the spinach sauce and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan and broil until golden, about 3 minutes.
