Ingredients
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Extra parmesan for garnish
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the gnocchi to the skillet and stir well to coat, then let it simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until tender.
4. Stir in the parmesan cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Add the baby spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted.
6. Top with fresh parsley and extra parmesan, then serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Add a splash of broth when reheating to loosen the sauce.
Cook the spinach just until wilted so it stays bright and tender.
