# 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.
