Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 120 g fresh spinach About 4 cups
  • 115 g feta cheese crumbled, about 4 ounces
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • tsp Salt To taste
  • tsp Black pepper To taste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes Optional, for heat

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Pot
  • Slotted Spoon

Method
 

  1. 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. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi and set them aside to drain.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy on one side.
  3. Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they get crispy on all sides.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until it wilts, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
  7. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to combine with the other ingredients. Serve immediately on plates.

Notes

This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the gnocchi. Feel free to add more vegetables or adjust the spices to your liking.
