Quick and extra delicious meal for all gourmands!


Ingredients (serves 6)

  • 250g packet Frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 500g Fresh Australian ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Australian parmesan cheese
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 - 1 cup Plain flour
  • According to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 750g Chopped fresh ripe tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Finely chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1 cup Pitted Kalamata olives, halved
  • According to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • According to taste Grated Australian parmesan cheese, for serving

Method

  1. Mix spinach, ricotta, parmesan, eggs, flour and seasonings in a large bowl until a moist, but not sticky dough forms. If the mixture is very sticky, add extra flour
  2. Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long log approximately 2-3cm thick. Using a floured butter knife, cut logs into 2cm lengths. Refrigerate on floured plates until required.
  3. For sauce, heat olive oil in a large, heavy based frypan over high heat, add garlic and tomatoes and bubble rapidly for 5 minutes, add parsley and olives, season to taste and cook rapidly for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce is thick and glossy
  4. Cook gnocchi in batches in a pot of salted boiling water, until gnocchi floats to the top (approx 5 mins), remove with a slotted spoon and drop into the sauce.
  5. Toss gnocchi through sauce, spoon into bowls and serve with parmesan.
