Gnocchi with Spinach
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- Optional: red pepper flakes, a pinch
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Pour in the broth and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
5. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg. Cook gently, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
8. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the spinach cream sauce. Heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese.
