A comforting dish of pillowy gnocchi tossed in a tangy sauce with wilted spinach and creamy feta, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package directions until they float. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the fresh spinach. Stir and cook just until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream or milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it warm for a minute so it starts to thicken slightly.
  5. Add the crumbled feta to the pan. Stir until the cheese softens and creates a creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water or milk.
  6. Fold the cooked gnocchi into the skillet. Toss gently so every piece is coated with the sauce. Cook for another minute to marry the flavors.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, use milk instead of heavy cream. Use fresh crumbled feta for the best texture and flavor.
