Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces refrigerated gnocchi
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped

Equipment

  • 10-inch Skillet
  • Spatula or tongs
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • small bowl or plate

Method
 

  1. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil.
  2. Add 10 ounces refrigerated gnocchi and fry, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are golden and crisp on the outside, about 4–6 minutes.
  3. Transfer the fried gnocchi to a bowl or plate and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and pour 1½ cups heavy whipping cream and ¾ cup chicken broth into the same skillet; whisk to combine.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese; whisk and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 6–8 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped baby spinach and ½ cup drained sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until the spinach wilts, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Return the fried gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the sauce until heated through.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use refrigerated gnocchi for quick cooking.
  • Drain sun-dried tomatoes well to avoid thinning the sauce.
  • Watch the sauce while thickening to prevent boiling over.
  • Grate Parmesan fresh for best flavor.
