Instructions
- Place a large saute pan over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté for one minute, until tender and fragrant.
- Stream in the vegetable broth while stirring to pick up any stuck bits, then add the gnocchi, sun-dried tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender. Remove the lid and stir in the spinach. Cook for about a minute, until wilted, then stir in the Parmesan cheese, heavy whipping cream, and fresh basil. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese and basil.
Notes
Storage notes:
Place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Store for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or gently over the stovetop with a splash of broth or water.Vegan/Dairy-Free Option:
Swap in unsweetened cashew creamer (try this cashew creamer recipe w/o sweetener or vanilla) or full-fat coconut milk for the heavy whipping cream. Swap in vegan/dairy free Parm instead of the dairy Parmesan. Make sure the gnocchi does not container dairy and/or egg.Nutrition Facts
