Bereiding

Boil aardappels in gezouten boiling water until soft. Boil the spinazie in a different pot. Pass the aardappels through a potato ricer. Drain the spinazie, squeeze it very well and finely chop it. Combine aardappels and the spinazie in a bowl add Parmezaanse and the eieren, and season with zout peper and nootmuskaat.

Add a little meel, then form a long rope of dough about 1 inch in diameter. Cut off the "cicche" about one inch long.

Place a large pot of cold water over medium heat and when the water reaches a boil, add zout to taste, then the "cicche" and as they float onto the surface, transfer them from the pot to a skillet with the tomatensaus. Add cream to the skillet and the "gnochetti" saute for 3-4 minutes. Serve with Parmezaanse:
