  • 3 1/2 oz butter
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed

  1. Removed the crusts from the bread and soak in milk in a shallow dish for 10 minutes. Squeeze out any excess milk from the bread.
  2. Squeeze out any liquid from the spinach.
  3. Place bread, spinach, ricotta, eggs and Parmesan in a bowl and mix.
  4. Fold in flour.
  5. Refrigerate, covered for 1 hour.

  7. Lower batches of the gnocchi into a large saucepan of boiling salted water.

  9. Freeze at this point in plastic container.
