A quick and creamy gnocchi dish with wilted spinach and crumbled feta — rich, tangy, and ready in just 20 minutes.
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 small shallot or ½ onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb potato gnocchi (uncooked)
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
3–4 cups fresh baby spinach
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: lemon zest or juice, pinch of nutmeg
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.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional lemon or nutmeg. Serve hot.
Vegan and gluten-free options available with substitutions.
Add protein like chickpeas or shredded chicken for a heartier meal.
Best enjoyed fresh — leftovers store well for 2–3 days.
