Ingredients
Fresh Spinach: 500 g
Ricotta Cheese: 200 g
Grated Parmesan: 100 g (+ extra for serving)
Egg: 1 pc
All-Purpose Flour: 100 g (+ extra for dusting)
Breadcrumbs: 5 tbsp
Butter: 80 g
Olive Oil: 50 ml
Garlic: 4 cloves
Fresh Rosemary: 3 sprigs
Nutmeg: to taste
Salt & Black Pepper: to taste

Culinary Technology (Step-by-Step)
Spinach Preparation: Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the spinach until wilted and soft. Crucial step: Place the spinach in a fine-mesh sieve and press firmly to remove all excess moisture. Finely chop the drained spinach.
Making the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Add one egg, breadcrumbs, and 100 g of flour. Mix thoroughly until you have a soft, workable dough.
Forming: Shape the mixture into small cylinders (or quenelles). Roll each piece lightly in flour to prevent sticking and ensure a delicate crust.
Boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the Malfatti into the water. Cook until they float to the surface (usually 2–3 minutes), then remove with a slotted spoon.
Aromatic Butter Sauce: While the water boils, heat olive oil in a wide skillet. Add 80 g of butter, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary sprigs. Sauté until the butter is slightly foamy and infused with the herbs.
Searing: Transfer the cooked Malfatti directly into the skillet with the rosemary butter. Sauté gently on all sides until they develop a light golden hue and absorb the flavors.
Service: Serve immediately, topped with a generous dusting of extra Parmesan cheese.
