Ingredients
- 1 lb starchy potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz. spinach fresh
- ¾ cup flour
- Salt to taste
- Freshly grated parmesan to serve with
Instructions
To Prepare Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper.
- Prick each potato with a fork, all over the surface.
- Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes or until tender. Once baked, open them immediately to let the steam escape. Be careful, as they are extremely hot.
- Scoop out the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Mash them using a potato mash.
To Prepare Spinach
- Heat olive oil in a skillet.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted. Transfer the spinach into a sieve and press firmly to remove excess liquid. Blend or process the spinach in a food blender or processor until you have almost a puree.
To Prepare Gnocchi Dough
- Add flour to the mashed potatoes and stir until just combined.
- Add spinach and some salt to taste.
- Stir the potato dough until it comes together. Do not overmix or your gnocchi will be too chewy.
- Divide the potato dough into four equal parts. Roll each part on a dusted kitchen counter to a 1-inch-thick long log.
- Cut the potato dough into gnocchi. The size depends on your taste.
To Shape the Gnocchi
- You can leave them as they are or you can make an indent in the center by poking the dough with a finger or roll the gnocchi over the back of a fork for a genuine gnocchi appearance.
To Cook the Gnocchi
- Cook the gnocchi in salted simmering water until they float on the top.
- Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon or drain in a colander.
- Serve warm, sprinkled with parmesan.
