Ingredients
  

Pasta and Sauce

  • 1 pound potato gnocchi store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes. Gnocchi will float to the surface when done. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the cheese has melted into a rich, smooth sauce (about 2 minutes).
  • Add drained gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss until every piece is well-coated in the creamy Tuscan sauce. Stir in chopped fresh basil and cook another minute to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired. Enjoy while warm!
