Ingredients
- 400g fresh ricotta
- 125g frozen spinach, thawed, excess moisture squeezed out
- 1½ cups finely grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons toasted flaked almonds, roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs

Method
STEP 1Combine ricotta, spinach, ½ a cup of the parmesan, almonds, breadcrumbs, egg, nutmeg and lemon zest in a large bowl and season to taste. Using wet hands, shape heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls to make the gnocchetti.
STEP 2
Spread ½ cup Prodivore d'Italia Sauce over the base of a 1 litre capacity shallow baking dish and place gnocchetti on sauce. Spoon remaining sauce around the gnocchetti. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese.
STEP 3
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes or until golden. Serve accompanied with crusty bread and a crisp green salad.
Tips
Gnocchetti can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated prior to baking.
