  2. 2Blanch spinach for 2 minutes, squeeze dry, and finely chop.
  3. 3Mix mashed potatoes, spinach, flour, egg, 50g Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until a dough forms.
  4. 4Shape dough into small balls and press gently with a fork to create ridges.
  5. 5Bring salted water to boil and cook gnocchi until they float, then 1-2 minutes longer.
  6. 6In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and add sage leaves until fragrant (2-3 minutes).

💡 Squeeze cooked spinach very dry before mixing gnocchi verdi dough; excess water forces you to add flour and makes the dumplings heavy.
