Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) potato gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (not in oil)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; cook gnocchi according to package directions until they float. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in sun‑dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; simmer gently until sauce starts to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Fold in spinach; cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Add cooked gnocchi to the skillet; toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Use oil-packed sun‑dried tomatoes drained if preferred.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat over low heat with a splash of broth or cream.
