Cut bread into cubes, put them in a bowl and pour a little 'hot milk (or broth if you prefer, I prefer the broth flavor is so already). Cover and let stand for fifteen minutes.
In the meantime boil the spinach for 10 minutes, drain, squeeze them well, chop finely.
In a bowl, mix spinach, squeezed bread, the beaten egg with a fork for a moment, half of grated cheese, nutmeg and a sprinkling of flour. Season with salt. If you like you can add freshly ground pepper and a pinch of garlic powder.
The dough should be soft but firm, if necessary, add the breadcrumbs to dry rather fine-grained a bit '.
With the help of a little 'flour and a spoon shaped dumplings, the size you prefer (I prefer them a bit' large so as to better adjust the doses per person ..).
Boil in salted water to a light boil, drain as they rise to the surface and collect them on a platter kept warm.
In a small saucepan melt the remaining butter left, insaporitevi the sage leaves for a few minutes and pour over gnocchi, sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and serve hot at the table.
-> The amounts of ingredients are approximate because depending on the size of bread and how much you want to be green .. You can add more or less spinach.
-> If you do not like spinach, do not put them and add their own instead of semi-hard cheese, diced or you can make it a bit 'with spinach and a little' cheese as I did in the photo ..
