Method

  1. Step 1

    Place the spinach, with water clinging to leaves, in a large saucepan. Place over high heat. Cook, covered, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until spinach wilts. Drain in a large colander. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. Use your hands to squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Finely chop and place in a bowl.
  2. Step 2

    Add the ricotta to the spinach and stir until well combined. Add the egg and parmesan and stir to combine. Add the flour and stir to form a soft, sticky dough.
  3. Step 3

    Using lightly floured hands, roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into logs. Place on a lightly floured baking tray.
  4. Step 4

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and chilli. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until onion softens. Add the wine and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 mins or until wine reduces by half. Add the tomato and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins or until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add one-third of the gnocchi (it will sink to the bottom). Cook for 5 mins or until gnocchi float to the surface and are cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with remaining gnocchi.
  6. Step 6

    Spoon the tomato sauce into serving bowls. Divide gnocchi among bowls. Serve sprinkled with extra parmesan and rocket leaves.
