Gnocchi di ricotta e spinachi is a classic Italian dish of ricotta and spinach gnocchi. The gnocchi are made from spinach, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, flour, and eggs. They're often spiced with ground black pepper and nutmeg. When compared to the more-known potato gnocchi, these ones are lighter and look more interesting visually.

Once prepared, the gnocchi are usually mixed with a sauce consisting of olive oil, onions, carrots, garlic, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, or with a simple sage and butter sauce. For the final touch, the dish is sprinkled with grated cheese on top.
