butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat, and margarine can be a cheaper substitute.

Thaw frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out excess moisture by hand over a bowl.

In a bowl, combine thawed spinach, whole milk ricotta, grated Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, and a little bit of flour.

Add salt, and optionally nutmeg and pepper to the mixture.

Pulse the mixture until everything is incorporated and the spinach is finely chopped.

Wet hands slightly and take a chunk of the mixture to form into a ball about the size of a golf ball.

Continue forming balls and leave space between them on the pan as they will spread while cooking.

Refrigerate the dumplings until ready to bake, or place them directly into a 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
