Ingredients and method

The preparation remains in its original order; guided mode is not available for this structure.

Bread is often left over; these gnocchi are an excellent use, served with butter and sage or tomato sauce.

300 g '00' flour
200 g boiled, chopped spinach
30 g grated Parmigiano
2 eggs
Salt, pepper
SAUCE
50 g melted butter
5/6 sage leaves
Extra virgin olive oil
Grated Parmigiano

Meanwhile, I melt butter, oil and sage in a frying pan, add a small ladle of cooking water and move the pan back and forth to emulsify.
I add the drained gnocchi.
