This was a nice dish to use up potatoes and make gnocchi. I was confused by the instruction of do not let the eggs cook and wisk until a sauce is created. The only way I could wisk with the spinach in it was to remove the gnocchi. Then put it back before serving. I am sure you will get <br/>more ratings from cooks who love goat cheese. Good luck on the contest!
