Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 1/2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 large eggs
Freshly ground pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large, wide pot of salted water to a simmer. Put the spinach in a large bowl and separate it with your hands. Add the ricotta, 3/4 cup parmesan, the flour, eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg. Mix with a fork to form a slightly sticky dough.
  • Spread some flour on a plate. Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of the spinach-ricotta mixture and roll into about 24 loose balls using floured hands. Gently roll the balls in the flour.
  • Bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the butter.
  • Meanwhile, gently lower the dumplings into the simmering water and cook until they rise to the surface and are firm, about 5 minutes. Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, letting the water drain off, and add to the sauce. Gently toss to coat, then transfer to plates and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan. Serve with bread.

Tips:

  • For the perfect texture, use fresh spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out all excess water before using.
  • If the ricotta cheese is too wet, drain it in a cheesecloth-lined colander for 30 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the dumplings from sticking to the pot, make sure the water is boiling rapidly before adding them.
  • Cook the dumplings in batches to prevent them from overcrowding the pot.
  • To test if the dumplings are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite sauce.
