We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness to service.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Fresh spinach
1/2 lb Ricotta or curd cheese
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 t Grated Nutmeg, or more to
taste
1 T Butter
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
6 T Grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 c All purpose flour
1/4 c Butter – Unsalted
1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the stems from the spinach. Put the cleaned leaves into a
stockpot with a pinch of salt. Cover tightly and cook, without added
waster, for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain well, then  squeeze
absolutely dry and chop very fine.  Return to the pot, add the  ricotta
cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg.  Add the butter. Sir together over a
very low heat for 3 to 4 minutes  until even mixed and dry. Remove from
the heat; beat in the eggs,  Parmesan cheese and flour, mixing
thoroughly. Set aside in a cool  place until firm.  Take a heaped
tablespoon of the mixture and form into a ball using  well floured
hands and a floured surface to sit them on.  Lower the balls a few at a
time, into a pan of gently simmering salted  water. NOTE: Do not use a
rolling boil, to keep the balls from falling  apart. When they rise to
the top (4-5 minutes), remove using a slotted  spoon and drain on paper
towels. Transfer to a well-buttered shallow  ovenproof dish to keep hot
in a warm oven.  When all are cooked, heat the butter until it begins
to turn nut  brown, pour over the gnocci and sprinkle with Parmesan and
more  nutmeg. Serve at once or leave in oven for up to 5 minutes before
serving.  Serve with an antipasto salad and perhaps some garlic bread.
