Sometimes ago I show you the Italian recipes for the preparation of traditional Italian spatzle, a delicious first course diffuses in the northern part of Italy in particular in Val D’Aosta and Trentino Alto Adige. Here I’m going to show you another delicious Italian recipes for Spatzle and in particular green spaetzle made with spinach. This spaetzle are similar to gnocchi with small dimension and irregular shape, easy to prepare and the recipe presented below is simple made with flour, milk and the addition of spinach. Also in this case you will need to use the grater for spaetzle and the seasoning that I used is also made with speck and cream.
INGREDIENTS (for 4 people):
380 g or 4 cups of Flour
2 Glasses or 1 cup of milk
200g or 7 oz of Spinach
200 ml or 1 cup of Cream
2 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
50 g of Speck cut in small cubes
Raw salt
PREPARATION TIME: 30 minutes
COOKING TIME: 10 minutes
WINE: Alto Adige Pinot Bianco (White Wine)
PREPARATION
Clean, wash the spinach and let them boil for 5-8 minutes.
When they are cooked drain them, let them cool down and squeeze them in order to remove the excess of water. Blend the spinach. Let salted water boil for spaetzle. Place the flour and the milk in a bowl and mix all together in order to obtain a soften dough without lumps, like this shown in the picture below.
When the mixture is well creamy, add the spinach and mix all together.
Then prepare the seasoning: preheat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan, add the cubes of speck and let them brown;
add the cream and let the sauce cook for about 5 – 10 minutes in order to reduce it.
Remember not to reduce the cream too much, in case this happens you can add a little bit of milk. When the water boils place the grater on the surface of the pan, pour slowly in its container the dough of spatzle and move the container back and forth in order to cut the dough in small irregular gnocchi with drops shape.
The spatzle are ready when they rise to the surface and this takes about 3 – 4 minutes.
Drain them and pour on them the sauce of speck and cream
Serve hot!
