Talluto's Spinach Gnocchi

• 1 pound whole milk ricotta, drained to remove excess moisture
• 10 ounces finely chopped spinach, excess moisture removed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1. Combine ricotta, spinach, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2. Add 1 1/4 cups of the flour to the bowl and mix.
3. The remaining 1/4 cup of flour should only be used if the dough is too sticky.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface.
5. Divide the dough into workable pieces.
6. With your hands, roll the pieces of dough into long cylinders approximately 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
7. Cut the cylinders into 1-inch pieces.
8. Make a depression in each gnocchi to shape.
9. In a large pot with 6 to 8 quarts of salted boiling water, add gnocchi and carefully stir to prevent sticking.
10. As gnocchi start to cook they will float to the surface.
11. Cook approximately 1 minute more.
12. Remove gnocchi with slotted spoon or strainer.
13. Add a saute pan with your favorite sauce or butter.
14. Saute briefly.
15. Add your choice of grated cheese and serve.
