List of Ingredients



• 2 1/4 pounds spinach
  
• 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  
• 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  
• 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  
• All-purpose flour, for dusting
  
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
  
• Salt and pepper
  






Instructions



1. Wash the spinach (do not dry). Cook the spinach, in just the water clinging to the leaves after washing, for 5 minutes, then drain, squeezing out as much liquid as possible, chop finely and put in a bowl.
   
2. Add the ricotta, half the Parmesan and the egg yolks and season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into balls and dust lightly with flour.
   
3. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil, add the gnocchi, a few at a time, and remove with a slotted spoon as they rise to the surface. Place the gnocchi on a warm serving dish, pour the melted butter over them and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
