Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach leaves
• 250 grams ricotta cheese
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 24 pieces wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves finely chopped garlic

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and remove any tough stems.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes. Immediately transfer the spinach to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.

Step 3

Drain and squeeze out excess water from the spinach, then chop it finely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean flat surface and add about a teaspoon of spinach mixture in the center.

Step 6

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold over to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal tightly and make sure there are no air bubbles.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 8

Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Place a steamer basket above the simmering water.

Step 9

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.

Step 10

Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Step 11

While the dumplings are steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 12

Remove the steamed dumplings and drizzle the garlic butter over them before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade spinach dumplings!
