Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Prepare Garlic and Spinach

    Mince the garlic cloves. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.

Cooking

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Spinach

    Add the spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Season

    Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and nutmeg over the mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute.

  5. 7

    Finish with Parmesan

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and spinach. Toss gently to combine.
