Spinach Gnocchi

2 c. cooked & squeezed spinach (4 bags fresh or 4 pkg. chopped spinach)
1 c. Ricotta or Farmers cheese
3/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
3 tbsp. potato starch
Nutmeg to taste
Salt to taste
3 qt. water
2 tbsp. butter

Combine the spinach, cheeses, egg, starch, nutmeg and salt. Bring water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add salt. Wetting your hands first, form spinach mixture into dumplings the size of walnuts and drop them one by one into the boiling water. They will drop to the bottom. When they rise to the surface remove and drain.

Just before serving, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the gnocchi in a buttered flat casserole. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Heat for a few minutes in the oven. Makes 24 large gnocchi.
