For a lighter and healthier option, try making spinach and ricotta gnocchi. The spinach adds a beautiful green color and a boost of nutrients, while the ricotta cheese makes the gnocchi soft and creamy. Cook the spinach until wilted, chop it finely, and mix it with ricotta cheese, flour, egg, and parmesan cheese. Roll the dough into long ropes, cut them into small pieces, and shape them into gnocchi. Boil them until they float to the surface, then serve with a simple tomato sauce or a garlic and olive oil sauce.
