Cook the spinach in a saucepan without adding any water, drain, squeeze dry, and chop. Place the spinach in a bowl, add the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, salt, and pepper, and mix. Then knead in enough flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Form the dough into gnocchi. Bring salted water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the gnocchi and bring to a boil. Remove the cooked gnocchi as soon as they rise to the top. Melt the butter in a saucepan or frying pan. Toast the pine nuts in a pan without adding any fat. Serve the gnocchi garnished with butter, pine nuts, and Parmesan.
