- 2 eggs
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper

- Put the potatoes on to boil. When they are cooked, peel and mash them without adding any more liquid.
- Meanwhile, wash the spinach and cook it without adding any extra water. Drain, squeezing out as much liquid as possible, and chop finely.

- Remove them with a slotted spoon to an ovenproof dish and repeat the process until all the gnocchi are cooked.
- Melt the remaining butter and pour it over the gnocchi.
- SDprinkle the rest of the Parmasan over the top and bake for about 10 minutes, or until well browned.
- Serve very hot.

I made this exactly as directed and it came out a mushy mess. I was very disappointed as I wasted half my day and some of my favorite ingedients on this disaster.
