Instructions
Creating Creamy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps:
1. Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions. They typically take about 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spinach: Toss in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.
4. Create Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Stir the crumbled feta into the cream sauce until melted and evenly distributed. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
6. Combine with Gnocchi: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently stirring until well coated with the creamy spinach and feta sauce.
7. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a beautiful presentation.
