Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups fresh spinach (about 120 g)
- 4 ounces feta cheese (about 115 g)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
- 1 to taste salt

Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook per package instructions until they float to the surface, usually 2-3 minutes. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and let them drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on one side.
- Gently stir the gnocchi and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they are crispy on all sides.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until it wilts, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Mix in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to meld with the other ingredients. Serve the dish immediately on plates.
