Description

A comforting dish of soft gnocchi combined with vibrant spinach and tangy feta cheese, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g Gnocchi
  • 200g Fresh Spinach
  • 150g Feta Cheese, Crumbled
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Parmesan Cheese for Serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in your gnocchi and cook them according to package directions—about 2-3 minutes until they float. Remove and drain, saving a bit of pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the Spinach: Toss in spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the Cream: Lower heat and add heavy cream, stirring gently until it bubbles lightly.
  5. Mix in the Gnocchi: Fold the cooked gnocchi into the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if too thick.
  6. Crush in the Feta: Add crumbled feta cheese and stir gently. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve it Up: Plate your creamy gnocchi and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative for the cream. Pair with a salad for a complete meal.
