Has anyone ever made Malfatti? (Italian Spinach Dumplings) [View All]

[The empressof all]

I think I'm going to give this a try this week. It looks yummy.

..."The spinach requires the most work, because you have to cook it, and then remove as much water as you can from the leafs. This is not an easy task. But watery spinach will lead to your dumplings falling apart, so it's a neccessity.

4 lbs spinach, washed with stems removed
2 cups ricotta cheese, mashed
2 eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 cup flour
5 T butter, melted ..."
