Spinach Gnocchi (Potato Dumplings) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 lbs baking potatoes
5 ounces spinach leaves
6 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
as much of your favorite tomato sauce, you like (I like tomato and basil)
Preparation
-
Peel potatoes and boil in salted water about 20 minutes or until able to mash, then place in a large mixing bowl and well.
Mash.
Steam spinach in a couple tbsp water covered about 5 minutes or until wilted, then remove and pat dry with a paper towl.
Chop spinach into approximately 1/4 inch pieces and then mix into potatoes.
Add butter, egg, garlic salt, and half of the flour and mix together well.
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead in the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Roll dough into about 1 inch thick ropes then cut off 1 inch pieces and roll into a ball.
With floured hands press the center of each dumpling to form a trough in the middle.
Allow gnocchi to chill for about an hour, then place in salted boiling water and allow to cook about 5 minutes.
Drain and serve with tomato sauce.
