Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese

- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to drain the ricotta cheese well to avoid excess moisture in the dumplings.
- Don't overwork the dough when mixing the ingredients - this can make the dumplings tough.

2. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings to the water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
