For this spinach gnocchi, we finely pureed the spinach, finely mashed the potatoes, mixed both and seasoned them to taste. A simple, wonderfully aromatic dish that tastes great!

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins in well-salted water.

Meanwhile, fill another pot with water and bring it to a boil.

Meanwhile, fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Then add 50 g of spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 60 seconds;

Immediately cool in ice water, remove from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well over a sieve.

Place the drained spinach in a tall container, puree with a hand blender and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 5mm cubes;

halve the cherry tomatoes;

finely chop the garlic.

As soon as the potatoes are soft, drain them in a sieve, cool them down and let them steam out a little; then peel.

In the meantime, fill the pot with water again, bring to a boil and generously salt. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently.

Step 3

Put the peeled potatoes in a bowl with the pureed spinach,¼ teaspoon nut meg, salt and pepper, mash to a fine mass with a potato masher and season to taste.

Then add 220 g of potato starch and knead with your hands to form a smooth dough.

On the work surface, roll the dough into a sausage about 2 cm thick,

then use a pastry card or knife to cut into 2.5 cm pieces and form into balls with your hands.

Optional: press 1 tofu cube in the middle, seal all around and shape into a ball again.

Step 4

For traditionally shaped gnocchi, use a fork with the prongs pointing downwards to give the balls the obligatory grooves.

Then immediately add to simmering water and simmer for approx. 5 min. until they float on the surface.

Carefully remove from the water with a slotted spoon, place in a sieve and allow to drain.

Then drizzle with olive oil to keep the gnocchi from sticking together.

Heat a large pan with olive oil and lightly fry the gnocchi on all sides for 5 minutes.

Then fry the halved tomatoes, the chopped garlic and 3 tablespoons of pine nuts for 2 minutes.

Fold in the remaining spinach and heat briefly;

Season with salt and pepper, arrange the spinach gnocchi and enjoy.
