Health benefits of Spinach Gnocchi

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 bunch spinach, stems removed
1 cup tomato sauce, canned
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, extra
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted

Instructions

1. Microwave or steam spinach until just wilted. Squeeze to remove excess water and chop finely.

2. Combine spinach, 1/2 cup of flour, cheeses and bread crumbs in a bowl.

3. Toss a tablespoon of mixture in extra flour and form into an oval. Repeat with remaining mixture to make 36 gnocchi.

4. Add gnocchi to a pot of simmering water and simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes. Gnocchi is cooked when it floats to surface.

5. Remove gnocchi from pan using a slotted spoon. Drain and keep warm.

6. Heat sauce in microwave.

7. Serve drizzled over gnocchi.

8. Note: to maximize flavor, choose small spinach leaves with a crisp texture. They should give off a sweet aroma, not a sour or musty odor.
