Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Cook the gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the gnocchi. Cook according to the package instructions until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

      Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Make it creamy: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable or chicken broth. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Add spinach and cheese: Add the chopped spinach and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Combine gnocchi and sauce: Gently fold in the cooked gnocchi, allowing it to soak in the creamy sauce for a minute or two.

              Serve: Plate the gnocchi and garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, sprinkle some red pepper flakes for an added kick.

                Enjoy your dish: Serve hot, paired with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal!
