Lazy dumplings with rosemary and olive oil

In Ukraine they call it “dumplings”, in Italy - “gnocchi”, in Germany - “kloss”, in the Czech Republic - “dumplings”... How and when they migrated to Russian cuisine is not known. I made the dumplings unsweetened and added a bunch of spinach to the cottage cheese, but you can use any other greens.
Ingredients

- 150 g of any hard cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 100 g spinach
- 3 cloves garlic
- a few sprigs of rosemary
- Chili peppers, fresh or dry
- 100 ml olive oil
Preparation:
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Coarsely chop the spinach, place in a saucepan and cover with a lid. After a minute or two, the leaves will become limp, remove the saucepan from the stove and let the spinach cool.
- Grate the cheese. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, cheese, flour, spinach, egg, add salt. Knead the dough. If the cottage cheese contains a lot of moisture, then more flour will be needed. The dough should not stick too much to your hands.
- Dust a work surface with flour, lay out the curd dough, divide into two parts and roll each into a sausage. If the dough sticks to your fingers, add more flour. Using a knife or hand, cut the sausage into dumplings, slightly larger than a walnut. Dip each dumpling in flour, shake off excess and place dumplings on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Today we’ll see how to do this in several variations with photos and step by step.
