Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 10 oz sliced cremini mushrooms
- 17 oz pre-packaged potato gnocchi
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika more to taste
- 6 oz fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt adjust to preference
- black pepper, freshly ground to taste
- red chili flakes optional
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and tender.
- Pour the vegetable broth and heavy whipping cream into the skillet, then stir in the minced garlic, Italian herbs, and smoked paprika. Bring this mixture to a simmer.
- Carefully add the gnocchi to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the creamy sauce. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Once the gnocchi are cooked, fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for approximately 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, and chili flakes as desired.
- Serve the creamy gnocchi immediately, garnishing with any remaining sautéed mushrooms on top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
For a richer texture, consider adding a dollop of cream cheese when incorporating the spinach. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
