  • 480 ml soy milk 16.2 oz
  • 10 g olive oil 2 1/4 tsp

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Sauté the spinach in a pan with a splash of water until wilted, then squeeze out all the excess water and chop finely. This is important as we don't want to add extra water to the mix.
    230 g fresh spinach
  • Mix the spinach into the semolina mixture until well incorporated.
  • Spread the mixture onto a surface with baking paper. form it into a log, and let it cool slightly until firmer.
  • Slice the log into discs with a serrated knife (if it sticks wet the knife in between discs) and arrange them slightly overlapping in a baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil with fresh sage leaves(slightly torn for more flavour) until fragrant, then drizzle over the gnocchi.
    2 tbsp olive oil, 6 sage leaves
