A quick and indulgent Italian-inspired dish with tender potato gnocchi tossed in a creamy gorgonzola sauce and fresh spinach, finished with Parmesan and optional walnut garnish.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb potato gnocchi (fresh or packaged)
  2. 4 oz gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  3. 1 cup heavy cream
  4. 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  5. 2 tbsp butter
  6. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  7. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  8. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  9. Optional: 1/4 cup crushed walnuts for garnish

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package directions until they float. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add gorgonzola and stir until melted and smooth.
  3. Add cooked gnocchi to the sauce, tossing to coat. If needed, add reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce.
  4. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve immediately. Garnish with walnuts if desired.

Notes

  1. Swap spinach for arugula or kale for a different flavor profile.
  2. Add cooked chicken or pancetta for extra protein.
  3. Use blue cheese instead of gorgonzola for a stronger flavor.
  4. Add a pinch of nutmeg for warmth in the sauce.
  5. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
