Description
Crispy Gnocchi With Spinach And Feta is a delicious dish featuring golden brown gnocchi combined with fresh spinach and creamy feta cheese, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they get crispy on all sides.
- 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.
- Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until it wilts, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
- Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to combine with the other ingredients. Serve immediately on plates.
