Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, flour, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- On a floured surface, divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a rope about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and gently press each piece with a fork to create ridges.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage leaves and set aside.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the gnocchi with crispy sage leaves on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
