Instructions
Making Creamy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta is simple and straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Incorporate the Gnocchi: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi with the creamy sauce.
