Ingredients

  • 500 g Baby Leaf Spinach
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic chopped
  • 500 g Ricotta Cheese
  • 75 g Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Plain Flour (you may need a little more)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 280 g Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • Large pinch Chilli Flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat a tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spinach and half the garlic and saute with some salt and pepper until the spinach is wilted.
  • Remove the spinach and allow to cool on a chopping board. Heat the rest of the olive oil in the same pan. Add the garlic and fry for a minute or two then add the tomatoes, butter, oregano and chilli flakes with some more salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes to allow the tomatoes to soften.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking chop the spinach then add it to a large bowl along with the ricotta, parmesan, flour and salt and pepper. One you've mixed everything together you should be able to make rugby-ball-shaped dumplings out of the mixture, I got 12 altogether. If the mixture is too wet just add a little more flour until it's easier to work with. Carefully place each gnudi into a large baking dish.
  • Pour the tomato sauce over the gnudi and then top everything with another grating of parmesan cheese. Bake for about 25 minutes.
