Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (from the sun-dried tomato jar if possible)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the cooked gnocchi and baby spinach to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.

  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
