Cooking Recipe

The recipe for gnocchetti greens is very simple. Wash and dry the spinach well. Transfer the spinach to a saucepan. Cover and put on low heat. You can add a small amount of water, but this is not necessary.

When the liquid has evaporated and the spinach darkens, transfer it to a sieve and squeeze out the excess liquid. Finely chop the stewed spinach with a knife.

Boil the potatoes in their skins while they are still warm, peel and grate on a coarse grater. And then let it cool.

In a bowl, combine potatoes and spinach. Add flour, salt and stir.

Place the dough on a floured board and knead. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, but not too much. The dough should not be tight, otherwise the gnocchetti will turn out hard.

Divide the dough into several pieces and roll with a 2-3 mm thick sausage. Cut small pieces from each sausage.

Next, the gnoсchetti will need to be molded. In Italy, special boards with grooves are used for this. You can use skewers. By putting several pieces together. You can also use an ordinary plug. Greens gnocсhetti boil in boiling salted water, they will float when ready. Remove the gnoсchetti with a slotted spoon, sprinkle with permesan or sauce and serve.
