Ingredients:
  • 300g frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 350g jar marinated feta, drained, oil reserved
  • 60g (3/4 cup) finely grated parmesan
  • 1 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour
  • Fresh thyme sprigs, to garnish
  • 40.00 ml reserved marinated feta oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 400g can diced tomatoes
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • Pinch of sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 120°C and prepare a baking tray by lining it with non-stick baking paper.
  • Remove spinach from packet, drain excess liquid between paper towels. Combine spinach, 200g feta, parmesan, egg, thyme, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, add the flour, and gently mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  • In a saucepan, heat the reserved oil and cook garlic until soft. Add tomatoes, water, and sugar, bring to a boil. Simmer on low for 15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Using two dessertspoons, sculpt heaping spoonfuls of the mixture into 12 oval dumplings. Arrange the gnocchi on the lined tray, making sure they are spaced apart.
  • 1. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add half of the gnocchi and cook for 6 minutes uncovered (they will rise to the surface halfway through). 2. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi to an ovenproof dish. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm in a preheated oven. 3. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining gnocchi.
  • To present, ladle the tomato mixture into four shallow bowls. Place three gnocchi on top, sprinkle with the remaining feta, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving hot.
