How to Make Spinach Gnocchi for your Teething Toddler or Hockey Player Husband

February 19, 2013

If you're looking for a recipe to feed both your teething toddler and the hockey player in your life, then you've come to the right place!

This Spinach Gnocchi is a recipe that Popeye would be proud of. Packed with spinach 
and creamy ricotta, these little morsels are like soft pillows: 
delicate and so easy to make. You could even serve them with a little 
red sauce, but for easier cleanup, I highly recommend just a little 
sprinkle of parmesan cheese and that's it!

    I made this for my 15mo old tonight and he practically climbed out of his high chair to get to the bowl! Mom got a little taste too, super delicious!
    Thanks so much!

    Is it possible to use fresh spinach with this recipe or is it much better to use frozen spinach?

      The frozen is better because, even though you squeeze out most of the water, it remains soft and sort of sticky so it holds together better!

    These were so delicious. I served them with tomato sauce over pasta. My 9 month old and 2 year old loved them! Thank you for all the delicious recipes.

    Hi Catherine, We just tried your recipe but the balls came apart in the boiling water. I think we didn’t have enough ricotta and too much spinach. Don’t want to waste the rest of the ingredients. Do you think we could bake them instead?

      I haven’t tried that, but I think it might work! You need to make sure to really squeeze out ALL the liquid from the spinach so that it’s completely dry!

    Is it possible to use a stick blender instead of a food processor? I’d love to try this recipe but don’t have a food processor.

      Hmm a stick blender would probably be okay! Just might take a bit longer :)

    Could cottage cheese work instead of the ricotta? Thx!

      I haven’t tested it with cottage cheese, but I think that might work. Cottage cheese is more watery so I would drain out some of the liquid first!

    great recipe (just made it) instant hit (i added a tomato broth to keep the gnocchi company). i presume your comment about this being good for babies and hockey-playing husbands (spouses – i have a hockey mom friend who gets driven to practice by HER son) def does NOT refer to your own husband whom i doubt would ever put himself on ice, let alone with a puck flying around.

    What kind of blade did you use in the processor, dough or a cutting blade?
