Combine
ricotta, spinach, eggs, salt, pepper,
and nutmeg in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Add 1 1/4 cups of the flour to the bowl
and mix. The remaining 1/4 cup of flour
should only be used if the dough is too
sticky.
Turn the dough onto a floured work surface.
Divide the dough into workable pieces.
With your hands, roll the pieces of dough
into long cylinders approximately 3/4
of an inch in diameter.
Cut the cylinders into 1-inch pieces.
Make a depression in each gnocchi to shape.
In a large pot with 6 to 8 quarts of salted
boiling water, add gnocchi and carefully
stir to prevent sticking.
A s gnocchi start to cook they will float
to the surface. Cook approximately 1 minute
more.
Remove gnocchi with slotted spoon or strainer.
Add a saute pan with your favorite sauce
or butter. Saute briefly. Add your choice
of grated cheese and serve.
