Instructions
Creating your own Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi is easier than you might think. Follow these simple steps:
1. Boil Gnocchi: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the surface, typically 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.
4. Incorporate Spinach: Add fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted.
5. Make it Creamy: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir well, allowing the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add Parmesan: Gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined with the rest of the sauce.
7. Combine Gnocchi: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy sauce. Stir until well coated.
8. Season to Taste: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
