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

  1. 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.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.

💡 Chef's Notes
