Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small shallot or ½ onion, finely diced

  • 1 lb potato gnocchi (uncooked)

  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

  • 34 cups fresh baby spinach

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: lemon zest or juice, pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Sauté shallot and garlic until soft.

  • Add gnocchi and sauté 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.

  • Pour in cream and bring to a simmer. Stir and let thicken slightly.

  • Stir in spinach and feta. Cook until spinach wilts and feta softens.

  • Add protein like chickpeas or shredded chicken for a heartier meal.
