Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 pound gnocchi, uncooked
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely sliced
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly, about 1 minute.
- Add garlic and gnocchi. Sauté until the gnocchi turns golden brown on most sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the heavy cream, vegetable stock, and Parmesan cheese. Stir well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and the gnocchi is tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
Notes
To enhance flavor, use homemade vegetable stock if available.
For a richer taste, add more Parmesan cheese before serving.
