A quick and indulgent dish of soft gnocchi, wilted spinach, and crumbled feta in a silky cream sauce, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup cream (heavy cream or half and half)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions until they float, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  3. Add the fresh spinach in batches, stirring until fully wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the cream and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer to thicken slightly.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi and crumbled feta. Gently toss to coat and heat through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, use half and half or add cream cheese. For a dairy-free option, use plant-based alternatives. Serve with a simple green salad or crusty bread.
