Description

An irresistible and easy-to-make Creamy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta, featuring tender potato gnocchi tossed in a rich, garlicky cream sauce with fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (500g) potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 cups (60g) fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) salt

Instructions

  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. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  4. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Remove from heat and gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t Overcook Gnocchi: They cook very quickly. Once they float, they’re ready!
  • Fresh Garlic is Key: For the best flavor, always use freshly minced garlic.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Feta is salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
  • Reheating: Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
