    List of Ingredients




    Vegetarian Herb Gnocchi


    1/2 lb spinach
    1/4 lb sorrel
    1 bunch American cress
    1 1/2 cups parsley
    1 tablespoon chopped chervil
    1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
    1 tablespoon chopped dill
    2/3 cup ricotta cheese
    2 tablespoons butter
    3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    coarse salt
    freshly ground black pepper
    2 eggs, beaten
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted

    Recipe





    Wash and drain the spinach, sorrel, watercress and parsley. Place in a
    large pan of boiling water and boil for 4 minutes; drain. When cool enough
    to handle, press out as much moisture as possible and chop finely. Add the
    remaining herbs and place in a saucepan over low heat for several minutes,
    stirring, to dry out.


    Beat the ricotta cheese to a smooth consistency and add to the puree with
    the butter, 25g/1oz/1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to
    taste. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the eggs and flour. Beat
    until smooth. Pour into a cool shallow dish and leave in the refrigerator
    overnight.


    Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Form the green mixture
    into egg-shaped gnocchi, using 2 teaspoons, and roll them very lightly on a
    floured board. Drop them in batches in the pan, but do not crowd them.


    ]When they float to the surface, after 4 to 5 minutes, lift them out with a
    slotted spoon and drain. Test one to make sure they are cooked through,
    then transfer to a warmed serving dish.


    Sprinkle the gnocchi with a little Parmesan cheese; serve the remaining
    cheese separately.


    Serve with melted butter if you like.
