Description
Crispy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta offers a delightful contrast of textures, with the gnocchi’s golden, crispy exterior giving way to a soft, pillowy interior. The vibrant spinach adds a fresh, earthy flavor, while the tangy feta cheese provides a creamy richness that elevates each bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Gnocchi:
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- For the Spinach and Feta:
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the potato gnocchi to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the gnocchi is cooking, in a separate pan, sauté the minced garlic in a little olive oil over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped spinach to the garlic and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the gnocchi is crispy, add the sautéed spinach and garlic to the skillet, stirring to combine.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead by cooking the gnocchi and sautéing the spinach separately, then combining just before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute feta with a vegan cheese alternative.
