Introduction

I like to make this in big batches and keep some in the frezer for a quick meal. I like to make this in big batches and keep some in the frezer for a quick meal.

Ingredients

    1 pound potatoes
    75 grams spinach
    1 tablespoon water
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 egg, beaten
    3/4 cup flour
    1 cup marinara sauce

Directions

Peel and cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water for 20 minutes. Drain and mash well. Cook the spinach in 1 tablespoon water for 5 minutes until wilted. Drain and pat dry. Chop and stir into the potatoes.

Add the butter, egg, and 1/2 of the flour to the mixture. Turn on to a floured surface, gradually kneading in the remaining flour to form a soft dough. With floured hands, roll the dough into thin ropes and cut off 3/4 inch pieces. Press the center of each dumpling with your finger, drawing it towards you to curl the side of the gnocchi (making a shell shape). Cover and leave to chill.

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi for 2-3 minutes or until they rise to the top of the pan. Drain well. Spoon marinara sauce over the top to serve.
