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. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare Garlic and Spinach
Mince the garlic cloves. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.

3
Sear Gnocchi
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi in a single layer. Sear until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side.
4
Add Butter and Garlic
Reduce heat to medium, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
5
Incorporate Spinach
Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
6
Season
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and nutmeg over the mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute.
7
Finish with Parmesan
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and spinach. Toss gently to combine.
