- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup garlic diced
- 1 lb gnocchi
- 2 cups baby spinach fresh
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup basil cut into thin strips
- 1 tsp salt celtic sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper freshly cracked
- 1 cup half and half
- ½ cup parmesan grated
In a large nonstick pan, melt butter until foamy.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.
Pour in water and gnocchi.
Let gnocchi soak up water and reduce, about 4 minutes on high.
Reduce heat to medium and add spinach, basil, salt and pepper and stir well.
Let spinach cook down, another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning or sticking.
Turn heat off and add in cream, stirring vigorously as you add.
Return to medium heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
When parmesan is melted and cream sauce is thick, remove from heat and serve immediately.
