Ingredients

Potato gnocchi, 500 g
Fresh chestnuts, 12 units
Spinach, 250 g
fresh, washed and coarsely chopped
Garlic, 1 head
peeled and cut into slices
Vegetable cream cheese, 2 tablespoons
optional
Ground nutmeg, a pinch
Coarse salt, a pinch
Black pepper, a pinch
coarsely ground
Water, as needed

Preparation

1. The chestnuts should be boiled (12 units - note that they are without mold and do not make noise when shaken) in a pot with water, and after boiling should be cooked for another 20 minutes. Peel immediately when removing from the water - do this carefully because they are very hot.
2. After peeling, cut into slices and set aside.
3. Fry the garlic for a few minutes in a pan with olive oil, add the spinach and chestnuts and fry for about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cream cheese, mix and let the flavors blend.
5. At this point add the seasoning: fresh nutmeg, coarse salt and black pepper (to taste of course).
6. Allow the mixture to evaporate in the pot, and prepare the gnocchi according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add it directly to the sauce and continue cooking briefly until there is no liquid.
7. Serve on plates and say the chestnut prayer three times
8. Bon appetite (:

The spices in the recipe are according to personal taste. The preparation method also includes frying.
