Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package gnocchi (about 16 oz / 454 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions until they float to the surface, then drain and set aside.
Cooking
  1. Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant and not browned.
  2. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until it has wilted.
  3. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and heat gently. Stir in the crumbled feta and continue mixing until it starts to melt and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Serve the creamy gnocchi warm, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk if the sauce has thickened.
