Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Full-fat ricotta cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for sautéing)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat dry.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then finely chop it.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, ricotta cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a thick dough-like consistency forms.

Step 5

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small dumpling-sized balls and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil, as the dumplings are delicate). Carefully drop the dumplings into the water in small batches.

Step 7

Let the dumplings cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

In a clean skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the cooked dumplings to the skillet and lightly sauté them for 2-3 minutes until golden.

Step 9

Garnish the dumplings with fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
