1 handful of spinach, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of salt

1
Put all the ingredients for the balls into a bowl and mix well. Cover and leave to soak for 30-60 minutes.
2
Form finger-thick rolls from the semolina, cut into 2-3 cm long pieces. Roll each piece into a ball by hand and place on baking paper. Bring the water to the boil and add the salt. Add the balls to the water in portions and allow them to rise to the surface. Remove the balls using a skimming spoon, drain well and keep warm.
3
For the garnish, fry the pine nuts in the frying pan and then remove from the pan. Fry the garlic slices in the frying butter. Add the butter pieces to the frying pan and leave to heat. Add the spinach and allow to sauté for a short time. Season to taste, mix together with the PureSpelt semolina balls and arrange on pre-warmed plates. Decorate with the fried pine nuts, Sbrinz grated cheese and lemon zest and serve immediately.
