Gennaro Contaldo’s Sublime Gnocchi Di Spinaci

A sensational iteration of spinach gnocchi from the man Jamie Oliver calls “the don of Italian cooking”, this recipe from Gennaro Contaldo is surprisingly easy to throw together.

This delicious potato-less gnocchi is made with the classic combination of spinach and ricotta. Simple to prepare, just remember to squeeze out the excess liquid from the cooked spinach before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. Serve with tomato sauce for a hearty meal.
