This Italian dumpling has the perfect combination of spinach and cheese. It's like manna from heaven. (That just means it's AWESOME!!!)
For the second to last class of Cooking for Life, we were taught on how to make Malfatti di Ricotta. Malfatti di Ricotta is an Italian spinach dumpling.
To begin with, you'll need these ingredients:
Cook the spinach in a large pan with olive oil(about 3 tablespoons) until it shrinks, or about 10 minutes. Then in a large mixing bowl, mix in the cooked spinach, 1/2 cup of Parmesan, flour, ricotta, eggs, nutmeg, and salt. Scoop out a spoonful of the spinach mixture and shape it into a ball. After that, cover the ball with flour. Boil a pot of slightly salted water and cook the dumplings. When they float, they're done. Serve with the leftover Parmesan. Enjoy!!
