Description
Crispy pan-fried gnocchi tossed with wilted spinach, garlic, and creamy feta for a quick Italian-style vegetarian dinner ready in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach (about 120 g)
- 4 oz feta cheese crumbled (about 115 g)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float, about 2–3 minutes. Drain well.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add gnocchi in a single layer and cook undisturbed 2–3 minutes until golden.
3. Flip or stir and cook another 2–3 minutes until crisp on all sides.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add spinach and cook 2–3 minutes until wilted.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
7. Stir in crumbled feta just before serving.
Notes
Pat gnocchi dry before frying for maximum crispiness.
Use a large nonstick or cast-iron pan.
Add a squeeze of lemon before serving for brightness.
Best served fresh but can be stored 1–2 days and reheated in a skillet.
