Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Cook Gnocchi: 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, usually about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi and set them aside to drain.
  2. Brown Gnocchi: 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 they become golden brown and crispy on one side.
  3. Crisp All Sides: Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they get crispy on all sides.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Wilt Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until it wilts, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
  7. Add Feta and Serve: Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to combine with the other ingredients. Serve immediately on plates.

Notes

  • Use fresh gnocchi for best texture, but frozen works well too—just adjust cooking time.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional; adjust according to your spice preference.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the gnocchi.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute feta with a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving can enhance freshness.
