Incorporate the grated cheese into the potato mash.
Sauté the spinach (use three bunches, as it reduces significantly in volume when cooked).

Dica: Mozzarella, chicken, ground beef, creamy cheese spread, bacon, or calabresa sausage are filling suggestions.
Drizzle the stuffed balls generously with béchamel sauce (white sauce).
Dica: Be generous with the sauce, using a really tasty one.
Cover the balls with more mozzarella cheese and finish by sprinkling Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the casserole dish in the oven until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
