Although by tradition this recipe of the gnocchi It is tasted on the 29th of each month, it is also true that most Argentines love pasta and especially when it is cold, and this dish is prepared or ordered at any time. In this case we are going to give you this recipe focusing on spinach.
Keep in mind that this dish can be accompanied by vegetables, meats, legumes or specific sauces that you want to prepare. To start making it, you are going to separate: 500 grams of flour, 500 grams of potato, 1 bundle of spinach, 1 egg, seasonings and salt. First of all, cook the potatoes with little liquid, then mash them and let them rest.
On the other hand, boil the spinach bundle, drain it very well and start to chop it very small. Then, you are going to combine the puree with the egg, cut spinach and half of the flour. You are going to add the rest of the flour, but very slowly until a homogeneous mass is formed, but it does not stick so much.
Next step: cut the dough into pieces, make thin strips and form the gnocchi, either with a fork or with whatever you want. You can throw flour on top so they don’t get stuck. In a pot you are going to put water to boil and when it reaches the point, you throw the gnocchi so they boil, but only for a little while and you take them out. The key is that when you see that they float, it already means that they are ready. You are going to remove them with a slotted spoon and that’s it, serve the dish with the sauce you want.
Extra tip: separate a good piece of cheese to grate, it is usually better than the packaged one, and add it to your plate of homemade gnocchi, and you will see that it is delicious.
