  • 4 Cloves Garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
  • 4 oz Sundried Tomatoes (in oil)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
  • 0.25 to 0.5 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 lb Gnocchi (shelf stable or refrigerated)
  • 1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
  • 4 oz Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 to 5 pieces Fresh Basil Leaves (cut into ribbons)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and onion and let it cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, sundried tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and optional Italian seasonings. Stir everything together.
  2. Add the gnocchi and let it simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the baby spinach and parmesan cheese, along with the fresh basil, reserving some for garnish.
Serving
  1. When ready to serve, generously top with fresh basil ribbons and sprinkle extra parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best served warm right out of the skillet. Can be paired with a light salad or crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth or cream to restore creaminess.
