Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional) Use if desired for extra flavor
Pantry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the cooked gnocchi and crumbled feta to the skillet. Toss to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Don't overcook the gnocchi to avoid a mushy texture. Use full-fat heavy cream for the richest sauce. Crumble feta by hand for the best texture.
