Spinach and Ricotta Gnocchi
- 2 pounds fresh spinachlarge stems discarded, leaves rinsed but not dried
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus 3/4 cup shavings
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy cream

- Transfer the spinach to a colander and press out the excess water.
- Finely chop the spinach.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach with the eggs, egg yolks, ricotta, grated Parmesan, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg; stir well.
- Add the flour and stir just until combined; the dough will be soft and sticky.
- Scoop out rounded teaspoons of the dough onto a well-floured work surface, and roll each piece into a ball.
- On lightly floured baking sheets, arrange the balls so they aren't touching.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- In a medium saucepan, simmer the cream and minced sage over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper; keep warm.
- Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water until they rise to the surface, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the gnocchi to a shallow bowl.
- Pour the sage sauce over the gnocchi.
