Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 130 g arugula, finely chopped
  • 100 g Parmesan, sliced
  • 500 g ricotta (alternatively grainy cream cheese)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 200 g flour
  • e.g. salt and pepper
  • nutmeg
  • some butter
  • e.g. Parmesan, for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Mix the ricotta with the egg yolks and arugula, season with salt and pepper, and then add the flour and Parmesan cheese. Knead everything into a smooth dough (the dough shouldn’t be too stiff; if it’s still slightly sticky, it’s good). Scoop out small dumplings with a tablespoon and cook in boiling salted water for 5-6 minutes. Fry the drained dumplings in a pan with a little butter until they begin to turn golden. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve on plates. This goes perfectly with arugula salad and baguette.
