Ingredients
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, then drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and heavy cream. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the sauce, then add the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topping with torn burrata if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcook the gnocchi and adjust creaminess by varying the amount of heavy cream.
