Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180°C/356°F.

2. 2

   Place 2 sweet potatoes on a baking tray and bake until soft.

3. 3

   Spoon out the flesh of the sweet potatoes and add to a bowl with a heaped tablespoon of ricotta, 40g of grated Parmesan and a small handful of chopped rosemary. Add a pinch of salt and mash together.

4. 4

   Add plain flour to the mix, bit by bit, mixing as you go. Once it is all mixed together, pick up the dough with your hands and form it into a lump. Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a floured surface.

5. 5

   Cut the dough into quarters. Take one quarter and roll it out into a long sausage. Cut up the sausage into little gnocchis at regular intervals.

6. 6

   Once you have cut up all the gnocchis, get a pan of water on the heat. Once the water starts boiling, add your gnocchi. After 4 minutes, it should float to the top. Cook for a further 30 seconds. Remove the gnocchi from the water, drain and drizzle with some olive oil.

7. 7

   Sauce time. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to a frying pan. When it starts browning, add a tablespoon of rosemary leaves and 1 crushed garlic clove. Fry for 30 seconds.

8. 8

   Add spinach. Once it has wilted, pour in your gnocchi. Coat the gnocchi in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.

9. 9

   To serve, spoon the gnocchi into a bowl. Grate on some Parmesan and dollop on some ricotta cheese. Tuck in and enjoy!
