Ingredients
  

For the Gnocchi
  • 1 package Gnocchi Quick-cooking for stress-free meal prep
For the Sauce
  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach Can substitute with kale
  • 1 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Substitute with ricotta for a milder taste
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Essential for rich sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced for flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For sautéing
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional for spice
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 3 minutes, or until it wilts down, turning a vibrant green hue.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to bubble for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi and crumbled feta cheese to the sauce, tossing gently to coat the gnocchi evenly while maintaining their softness.
  6. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of extra feta on top.

Notes

For best flavor, make the creamy sauce right before combining with the gnocchi. Consider freezing the gnocchi without the sauce for optimal texture.
