  • Made this earlier this week

    Made this earlier this week with the fresh spinach and it turned out fantastic! I pulsed the spinach on turbo a few times then squeezed out the water using a chux cloth. I had to use a bit more flour than the recipe stated to make it more managable, but otherwise, perfect! First time iv'e made gnoccchi without potato. Thanks for sharing!

    I would suggest shredding the fresh spinach in the thermomix and then squeezing as much water out as possible to keep the spinach less water logged and then proceed with the recipe instructions.

    I have heaps of spinach in my garden that I would like to use up. To make this recipe with fresh spinach do you think i would need to wilt it first or just shred in the thermomix?

  • Sorry you didn't have much

    Sorry you didn't have much success with this. Just to clarify it is only the peel of half a lemon not the lemon juice which may explain why your dough was quite runny. Also you need to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the spinach.

  • This was surprisingly yummy

    This was surprisingly yummy and fairly easy to make.  I was a bit confused with the Lemon and didn't know whether the lemon or the peel was going in, so I put in both.  My dough was too runny and I needed to add more flour.  If I make it again I will only use the lemon peel.
