Ingredients
  

For the Gnocchi
  • 1 pound gnocchi Use store-bought or homemade for a soft and pillowy texture.
For the Sauté
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Essential for frying; gives a rich flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced for even distribution.
For the Vegetables
  • 4 cups fresh spinach Can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard.
For the Creamy Element
  • 4 ounces feta cheese Crumbled for a creamy, tangy burst of flavor.
To Season
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Adjust based on your heat preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes Optional for a kick of heat.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • frying pan
  • Colander

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they rise to the surface. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Gently add the cooked gnocchi in a single layer to the pan and let them cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Stir and cook the other sides for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir. Cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring to distribute evenly.
  7. Remove from heat and gently mix in the crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure your frying pan is hot enough before adding the gnocchi to prevent sogginess. For best results, stir-fry in a single layer and use fresh ingredients.
