Description
A delightful dish combining crispy gnocchi, tender spinach, and creamy feta cheese for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach (about 120 g)
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 115 g)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside to drain.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on one side.
- Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes until crispy on all sides.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the fresh spinach, stirring gently until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
- Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately on plates.
Notes
Serve warm, optionally sprinkle with extra feta. Pairs well with a light salad or crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
