Anleitungen
Preparation
- Place the frozen spinach in a colander and let it thaw for about 1 hour at room temperature.
Spinach Sauce
- Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. Wash and halve the tomatoes. In a pan, add the oil and sauté the onion with a pinch of salt over medium heat until translucent.
- Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Next, add the tomatoes and sauté over medium heat for three to five minutes, stirring occasionally. (If the garlic seems to burn, add a dash of hot water to the pan.)
- Add the spinach and crush the blocks with a wooden spoon or spatula. Reduce the heat, stir in the cream cheese, ricotta cheese and cooking cream. Season to taste with pepper, salt, a pinch of nutmeg and a little bit of lemon juice.
Gnocchi Bake
- Add the gnocchi to the sauce, mix well and transform everything to a casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top and put it in the oven for 20 minutes.
