Green Gnocchi With Provolone

Preparation:

Preparation: Wash the potatoes and boil them in boiling salted water, then, still hot, peel them and pass them through a potato masher. Peel the spinach and wash it repeatedly, then boil it with only the remaining water adhering to it, adding a little salt. When cooked, drain them well and chop them finely. Mix the spinach with the mashed potatoes and add half of the finely chopped Provolone Auricchio, the flour and the eggs to the mixture; lightly salted. Work the compound with your hands until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough, if it sticks too much to your hands add a little more flour. From the dough, make many balls the size of a walnut and cook them in small quantities in boiling salted water. Gradually drain the gnocchi and place them in a bowl and season with the remaining provolone cheese, cut into slices and a grind of pepper.
