Nutmeg flavored spinach gnocchi

Instructions

1. In a lidded pan place the spinach and add enough water to cover. Cook the spinach, add a little salt shake over the heat until the leaves wilt. Drain thoroughly in a sieve, squeeze out any excess water and chop finely. Allow to cool.
2. In a large bowl mix the spinach with the breadcrumbs, ricotta, and egg yolks. Add Parmesan and season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
3. On a floured surface, using your lightly floured hands to form the mixture into small sausage shapes. Freeze them, if not using immediately.
4. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Lower in a batch of the gnocchi a few to drop below a fast simmer. Poach them gently until they bob to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and arrange in a lightly greased serving dish. Keep them warm under a damp cloth while you finish poaching.
5. Heat to melt the butter with the sage and drizzle over the gnocchi.
