NANA'S SPINACH GNOCCHI
My grandmother used to make three different kinds of gnocchi (potato, spinach and ricotta). If you are not familiar with "gnocchi," they are a type of home made pasta (similar to cavatelli), usually made with a potato or cheese based dough. Spinach gnocchi are particularly good when tossed with butter and grated cheese, or olive oil and fresh minced garlic, or your favorite sauce.

Steps:
- In a large pot, add 3 Tablespoons salt to 5 quarts of water, bring to a boil.
- Place spinach, potatoes, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, salt and four in a large bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix ingredients together to form a dough.
- On a floured board, roll dough into long, finger-thin ropes.
- Cut ropes into pieces about 1-2 inches long.
- Flatten each piece gently with thumb and bring long sides together to form a hollow tube or shell shape.
- After shaping all the dough, place about 20 gnocchi into a large pot of boiling, salted water.
- When they rise to the surface, remove them from the pot with a strainer.
- Place in a heated bowl.
- Keep water at a hard, rolling boil and continue cooking the gnocchi (20 at a time) until all are cooked.
- Toss with butter and grated Parmesan cheese or your favorite sauce and serve.
