I have this receipe for spinach gnocchi.. it was from someone on the board, but I just realized I cut off their name while it was printing so I dont know who to give credit to.. so I apologize to whoevers receipe this is.. please claim it if it is yours.. I never tried making this though..

Flour Mix

15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese

16 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed with excess water squeezed out

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

large pot of boiling salted water

flour mix

20g. tapioca flour

75g white rice flour

75g brown rice flour

35g potato flour

15g corn starch

15g xanthan gum

combine cheese, spinach and eggs in food processor and process until mixture is smooth. add salt, pepper and nutmeg.

reserve about 1/2 cup of flour mix to flour counter and add the remainder to cheese mixture. pulse processor to combine turn out into a bowl and knead throughly. take a hand full of dough and roll it with your hands on a floured to make a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter. cut the rope into 3/4 inch peices and using the tines of a fork to slightly flatten and make indentations on one side.

toss into boiling salted water and cook in batches until they float. remove from water with slotted spoon and set aside while rest are boiled

You can also use mashed potatoes instead of ricotta cheese as the basis for gnocchi. I don't even measure - take the ricotta or potatoes, add an egg or two, some salt, maybe some parmesan, then any gluten-free flour mix until you can work with it. When you boil them, be sure to get them soon after they float to the top because if they stay in there too long, they fall apart. You can also freeze them in a single layer and then put them in a bag before cooking if you want to keep them around for later.
