Description
A cozy comfort dish featuring tender gnocchi, fresh spinach, and tangy feta in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Boil the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the surface (usually just a few minutes). Drain.
- Sauté the garlic and spinach: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (around 30 seconds), then add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes).
- Mix in the cream: Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream or half-and-half, and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Combine everything: Gently fold in the cooked gnocchi and crumbled feta until coated in the sauce.
- Season to taste: Add salt and pepper as needed, and sprinkle reserved feta on top for serving if desired.
Notes
Feel free to add toasted pine nuts or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Serve with crusty bread for sopping up the sauce.
