Ingredients
1 pound gnocchi
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups fresh spinach (About 120 g)
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (About 115 g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional, for heat)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions (usually 2-3 minutes) until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy on one side.
3. Gently stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until crispy on all sides.
4. Reduce heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the fresh spinach and stir gently for 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
6. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
7. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.
Notes
• Variations: Add cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
• Crispy Tip: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the gnocchi to get the perfect crispy texture.
• Greens: You can substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard.
• Storage: Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat in a pan to maintain crispiness.
