Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while pecorino is often less expensive.

Prepare a base with 1/2 cup of milk in a pan off the heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 3.5 tablespoons of cornstarch to the milk, mixing until smooth.

Cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens.

Add 1 cup of cooked, drained spinach to the thickened mixture.

Transfer to another bowl and season with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 cup of strong grated cheese, pepper, and nutmeg.

Mix well and choose to blend or leave chunky for the filling.

Place a small piece of mozzarella in the center of the filling and coat with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to prevent bursting during cooking.

Start assembling the sorrentinos using molds or cutters.

Roll out the dough about 2 cm larger than the mold on all sides.

Press the dough into the mold, fill with the filling, and cover with another piece of dough, sealing well.

Use a rolling pin to press out air and cut excess dough.

Dust with flour and let them rest.

For cooking, bring 5 liters of water to a boil with 2 tablespoons of coarse salt.

Cook the sorrentinos for 10-15 minutes until al dente, adjusting to personal preference.

Serve with tomato sauce, a touch of cream, and grated cheese.
