Step 2 - In a food processor mix the ricotta, eggs, onion, two cheeses and spinach and blend. Empty into a large bowl and then mix in the flour until just combined (do not overmix). Then using a small ice cream scoop, make balls and place them in the sauce. Bake for 35 minutes (longer if you use a regular sized ice cream scoop).

Step 3 - Garnish with chives, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. I served this with pasta too but you can also serve this with bread.
