Ingredients
- 1 10-pz package frozen spinach
- 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese whole-milk
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour + more for dusting
- 1 egg
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Defrost the frozen spinach and squeeze out ALL excess liquid. Put the spinach, ricotta, parmesan, flour and egg in the food processor and pulse until well combined.
- Plop the dough in one pile on a floured cutting board. Sprinkle more flour on top until the dough no longer sticks to your hands. Divide into 3 or 4 pieces and roll each one into a thin log about 1-inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 1 to 1 ½” sized chunks and toss with a little more flour.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and slide in the pieces of dough. Cook until all are floating and done all the way through when cut in half, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and toss with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with either a high quality store bought tomato sauce or a homemade one.
