Ingredients
  

1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)

2 cups baby spinach

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Once they float to the top (usually around 2-3 minutes), strain them and set aside.

    Sauté Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant (be careful not to burn it). Then, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and keep cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they soften.

      Add Cream and Spinach: Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the baby spinach and dried oregano, and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.

        Incorporate Gnocchi: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy mixture in the skillet. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

          Serve: Plate the creamy gnocchi and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for garnish. Enjoy your delicious Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi immediately!
