Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi Quick and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 oz gnocchi
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (not in oil)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
- Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the fresh spinach and cooked gnocchi to the sauce. Toss gently to ensure the gnocchi are well coated and the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.
