Dinner Tonight: Ricotta and Spinach Gnocchi
Draining the ricotta in cheese cloth over night or as long as you can will make the gnocchi lighter.

Love the blog, always enjoy reading it. I really like these gnocchi. I just made a gnocchi with choux pastry for the first time and it was incredible. Come take a look if you have a chance and let me know what you think. http://cookingquest.wordpress.com
Thanks so much!

That was an incredibly painful process. Following this recipe can only lead to failure. 2.25 pounds of spinach is a good double what you need for this recipe.
Once mixed, these things get super sticky, flour or no. What happens when you put them into a pot of boiling water? You get soup. Spinach, ricotta soup. I ended up baking them, miz_dj definitely has the right idea there.
I am disappointed by the editorial errors: where does the butter come in? Why is the procedure labeled the ingredients, as well?
this recipe actually is far more appealing to me than the potato gnocchi i was thinking of trying to make, so many thanks for posting.
I finished these in the butter in the oven with parmesan and served it with tomato sauce. SO good.
It's also easier when you roll the dough into a "snake" and pinch off the ends to toss in.
Looks wonderful but could you tell me where in the recipe you add the butter? I assume it is incorporated into the gnocchi.....
The versions I've sampled used chopped spinach and looked much lighter. More like this:
