Master the art of delicate spinach ricotta gnocchi with this family recipe
In short: Learn how to prepare light, tender spinach ricotta gnocchi, a special dish shared by the presenter's aunt. This video guide walks you through the process of creating the dough, shaping the dumplings, and cooking them to perfection for a classic family meal.
This recipe relies on a simple mixture of ricotta cheese, eggs, and spinach, bound together with all-purpose flour. The process requires careful handling to ensure the dough remains soft, followed by a five-minute kneading period to achieve the right texture. Once shaped into small, one-inch pieces, the gnocchi are rolled over a fork or paddle to create their signature ridges, which help hold sauce.
The recipe yields approximately two pounds, or one kilogram, providing enough for four to six servings. A key step involves freezing the shaped gnocchi for about two hours until firm before boiling them in salted water for eight minutes. The dumplings are ready when they float to the surface and are tender throughout.
