Ingredients

3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese

1 bunch spinach, stems removed

1 cup tomato sauce, canned

1/2 cup dried bread crumbs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, extra

1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

1.	Microwave or steam spinach until just wilted. Squeeze to remove excess water and chop finely.
2.	Combine spinach, 1/2 cup of flour, cheeses and bread crumbs in a bowl.
3.	Toss a tablespoon of mixture in extra flour and form into an oval. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 36 gnocchi.
4.	Add gnocchi to a pot of simmering water and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes. Gnocchi is cooked when it floats to surface.
5.	Remove gnocchi from pan using a slotted spoon. Drain and keep warm.
6.	Heat sauce in microwave.
7.	Serve drizzled over gnocchi.
