Spinach Gnocchi with Cheese

Pick out the spinach, rinse thoroughly a few times and bubble in enough salted water for about a minute. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool. (Keep the water hot to cook the dumplings.) Squeeze the spinach well and chop finely.

In a baking bowl, knead the curd with the egg yolks, flour, spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until it forms a dough that can be easily shaped with moistened hands without sticking. Stir in flour by teaspoonfuls, if necessary.

Bring the water to a boil one more time. Preheat the oven broiler to the highest setting. Or turn the oven on to 250 degrees , gas mark 5.

Cut out walnut-sized pieces of the spinach dough with a tablespoon, form into oval dumplings with moistened hands and cook in portions in lightly boiling water for about three minutes.

Remove the cooked dumplings with a slotted spoon and place them, well drained, next to each other in a shallow greased baking dish.

Finely grate the cheese and sprinkle over the dumplings.

Cook the dumplings in the broiler or oven until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
