Strangolapreti is a traditional dish from the Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige. This dish is a type of gnocchi made from stale bread and spinach, with cheese and butter added for flavor. Strangolapreti, which translates to “priest stranglers,” is said to have got its name from the fact that the gnocchi are so that they might even tempt a priest to overindulge and choke on them!

The for is quite straightforward and easy to follow. To start, you will need to gather your ingredients, which include stale bread, spinach, garlic, onion, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and butter. The first step is to soak the stale bread in water for about 20 minutes. Next, squeeze the excess water from the bread, and mix it together with the chopped spinach in a large bowl.

Once the bread and spinach are combined, add the minced garlic and onion, and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Mix everything together, and add a beaten egg to the mixture. Knead the ingredients together until you get a thick dough.

At this point, you can add a bit of flour to the mixture if you find it too sticky. Once the dough is ready, divide it into small portions, about the size of a walnut. Roll each portion into a ball, and then flatten it slightly into a disk shape.

In a large pot of salted boiling water, place the strangolapreti, a few at a time, and cook them until they float to the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Once the gnocchi are cooked through, remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a large bowl.

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the cooked strangolapreti to the pan, and toss everything together until the gnocchi are coated in butter. Grate a bit of fresh Parmesan cheese over the top, and serve the strangolapreti warm, garnished with a few sprigs of fresh parsley.

One of the great things about this recipe is that it’s highly customizable. You can easily swap out the spinach for other vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, or zucchini. You can also add different herbs and spices, such as thyme or rosemary, to give the dish a more complex flavor.

Another great thing about strangolapreti is that it’s a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The bread and spinach give the gnocchi a lovely texture, while the Parmesan cheese and butter add richness and depth of flavor.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for an easy and delicious comfort food recipe to try this winter, give strangolapreti a go. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is sure to become a new favorite in your household. So go ahead, simmer that pot of water, knead that dough, cook that gnocchi and enjoy all the scrumptious goodness of this traditional Italian comfort food.
