Gnocchi

Vegetables

Method

Prepare Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    While gnocchi is cooking, rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop coarsely. Mince the garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Grate Cheese

    Finely grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside for later use.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear Gnocchi

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and season with salt and black pepper. Sear for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

  3. 6

    Add Spinach

    Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.

  4. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and vegetables. Toss everything together for a minute until the cheese melts slightly. Serve hot.
