high (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Place in a sieve. Drain excess liquid. Place spinach,
mince, garlic and soy sauce in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Place wrappers on flat surface. Spoon 2
teaspoons mince mixture on 1 half of each wrapper. Brush edges with cold water. Fold over to

lined with baking paper over simmering water. Cook dumplings, in batches, for 15 minutes or until
tender and cooked through. Serve.
Method:
Put a large saucepan of water on to boil. Finely chop the 100g pancetta, having first removed any
rind. Finely grate 50g pecorino cheese and 50g parmesan and mix them together. Beat the 3 large
eggs in a medium bowl and season with a little freshly grated black pepper. Set everything aside.
Add 1 tsp salt to the boiling water, add 350g spaghetti and when the water comes back to the boil,
cook at a constant simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until al dente (just cooked).. Squash 2 peeled
plump garlic cloves with the blade of a knife, just to bruise it. While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the
pancetta with the garlic. Drop 50g unsalted butter into a large frying pan or wok and, as soon as the
butter has melted, tip in the pancetta and garlic. Leave to cook on a medium heat for about 5
minutes, stirring often, until the pancetta is golden and crisp. The garlic has now imparted its
flavour, so take it out with a slotted spoon and discard.
