Description
A quick and easy vegetarian dinner featuring crispy gnocchi tossed with sautéed spinach, garlic, and crumbled feta.
Ingredients
1 pound gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups fresh spinach (about 120g)
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 115g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float, 2–3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until golden.
3. Toss gently and cook another 2–3 minutes until crispy on all sides.
4. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
7. Stir in feta and combine gently. Serve hot.
Notes
Make sure gnocchi are well-drained before crisping to avoid sticking.
Add cherry tomatoes or toasted pine nuts for extra flavor.
