Ingredients

  • 24 ounces gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour, then slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking until smooth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the spinach, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan until melted and creamy.
  • Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the sauce until fully coated. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
