Spinach Gnocchi

Makes 3 servings

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (9-ounce) package frozen spinach in a pouch, thawed, squeezed to drain
• 1 cup mashed potatoes
• 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon white peppers
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce

1. In large bowl, combine flour and all ingredients except spaghetti sauce. Mix until mixture forms a smooth dough. Divide dough into quarters. Form each quarter into log 3/4 inch thick and 12 inches long. Cut each log into 1-inch pieces. If necessary, roll pieces lightly in additional flour to keep from sticking.

2. Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 12×8-inch (2-quart) baking dish. In large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; drop dough pieces, a few at a time, into simmering water. Cook 4 minutes. Remove gnocchi with slotted spoon; place in greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.

3. Bake at 325°F. for 20 to 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

4. Meanwhile, heat spaghetti sauce. Serve sauce over gnocchi.
