Simple dishes, high quality ingredients and food made with passion are
what make a heavenly Italian meal. These classic Italian dumplings are
packed with nutrients thanks to one of their main ingredients - their
vitamin-rich spinach filling.
Ingredients:
Spinach - 1 package (frozen, chopped)
Egg - 2
Egg yolk - 2
Ricotta cheese - 16 oz.
Sea salt - 1/2 tbsp.
Pepper - 1/4 tbsp. (freshly-ground)
Nutmeg - 1/4 tbsp.
Parmigiano Reggiano - 1 cup (grated)
Flour - 1 cup
Parmigiano Reggiano - a handful of shavings
Olive oil - as needed
Method of Preparation:
Combine the spinach with the eggs, the egg yolks, ricotta cheese,
sea salt, pepper, nutmeg, grated Parmigiano Reggiano and flour, then
work into a very soft dough.
On a lightly-floured surface, shape the dough into 1/2-inch-thick
ropes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook in batches for four
minutes and serve, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and shaved
Parmigiano-Reggiano.
