Ingredients:

1 1/3 Cups ricotta cheese -- well drained
1 Cup packed cooked spinach -- well squeezed and chopped
1/4 Cup diced Fontina cheese
1/4 Cup diced Swiss cheese
1/4 Cup grated pamigiano-reggiano cheese

2 Tablespoons butter -- (1/4 stick) softened
2 Large egg yolks -- beaten
1 teaspoon salt to taste
1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 Cups tomato sauce
 

Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except the tomato sauce. Preheat the oven to 350* Using 2 soup spoons, form gnocchi into oval or egg shapes using a little less than 1/4 cup of the mixture for each. There should be about twenty 21/2-inch-long gnocchi. Place them close together, but not touching, in a buttered 13 1/2 x 8 inch baking dish. Cover the gnocchi tomato sauce and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot. Serve immediately. Note: Sometimes a white sauce is used in addition to the tomato sauce. Spread the baking dish with the white sauce before adding the gnocchi.
