Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 pound spinach (about 1 bunch), coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well and drained
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan cook the spinach in the water clinging to the leaves, covered, over moderate heat, stirring once or twice, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it is wilted, refresh it under cold water, and drain it well in a colander. Squeeze the spinach dry by handfuls and chop it fine.
  • In a heavy saucepan bring the water and the milk just to a boil with the butter, stirring until the butter is melted, add the flour all at once, and stir the mixture briskly with a wooden spatula until it pulls away from the side of the pan and forms a ball. Cook the dough over moderate heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a bowl and with an electric mixer beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, the salt, the pepper, the nutmeg, and the spinach.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Into a kettle of boiling salted water drop walnut-size spoonfuls of the paste, about 10 at a time, and simmer them, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are cooked through. Transfer the gnocchi as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to a large colander and let them drain well. Arrange the gnocchi in one layer in a buttered 1 1/2- to 2-quart shallow grating dish or flame-proof baking dish, drizzle the cream over them, and sprinkle them with the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Bake the gnocchi in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes and broil them under a hot broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 1 minute, or until they are browned lightly.

The gnocchi turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme.

This spinach gnocchi gratin was a hit with my family! The combination of tender gnocchi, creamy spinach, and melted cheese was divine. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping, which added a nice textural contrast to the dish.
