Crispy Gnocchi with Spinach (Print-Friendly Recipe)

A flavorful dish featuring golden crispy gnocchi, fresh spinach, and crumbled feta cheese in a simple sauté.

# Ingredients List:

→ Gnocchi

01 - 1 pound (453 g) potato gnocchi

→ Vegetables

02 - 4 cups (120 g) fresh spinach
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Cheese

04 - 4 ounces (115 g) feta cheese, crumbled

→ Oils and Spices

05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste
08 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain well.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the gnocchi in the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crispy on one side.
03 - Gently stir the gnocchi to flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring all sides develop a crispy, golden crust.
04 - Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
05 - Add fresh spinach to the pan and stir gently until it wilts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat, then fold in the crumbled feta cheese until evenly combined. Serve immediately.

# Extra Information:

01 - For variation, add cherry tomatoes or substitute spinach with kale or Swiss chard.
02 - Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding gnocchi for optimal crispiness.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days and reheat in a pan to maintain texture.
