Preparation

- Process the spinach with the ricotta, egg, salt, and pepper until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- Gradually add the flour, kneading until it forms a soft, slightly sticky but manageable dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 cm thick cylinders and cut into small portions of approximately 2 cm.
- Boil plenty of salted water and cook the gnocchi in batches; remove them with a slotted spoon once they rise to the surface.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sage leaves, cooking for 1 minute until golden and aromatic.
- Add the gnocchi to the pan and sauté gently for 2–3 minutes to absorb the butter.
