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.

These dumplings were a little too heavy for my taste. I think I would use less flour next time.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I really enjoyed these dumplings. The ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese really balanced out the flavor of the spinach.

These dumplings were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some garlic and Italian seasoning to the filling next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and the dumplings came out perfect. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the filling.
