Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water over high heat until rolling.
- Blanch fresh spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until bright green, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Soak stale bread cubes in warm milk for about 10 minutes, pressing gently to fully saturate.
- Sauté finely chopped onion in a tablespoon of butter over medium heat until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine squeezed spinach, soaked bread, sautéed onion, eggs, grated Parmesan, parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let rest for 8-10 minutes.
- Shape the mixture into golf-ball-sized dumplings, about 12 in total, packing gently.
- Poach the dumplings in simmering salted water for 12-15 minutes until they float and feel firm.
- Melt butter with fresh sage leaves in a small pan over low heat until foamy, then drizzle over cooked dumplings.
- Serve hot with additional Parmesan and light cream sauce.

Notes
Ensure stale bread cubes are well-soaked in milk without becoming mushy. Shape dumplings uniformly for even cooking and consider making them in advance for convenience.
