Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden-brown.
2. To the skillet with remaining mushrooms, add uncooked gnocchi, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
3. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook gnocchi for about 5 minutes until tender.
4. Stir in fresh spinach and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until wilted and sauce thickens slightly.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Top with reserved sautéed mushrooms and grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Opt for cremini or shiitake mushrooms for their robust flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi; they should float to the surface when done.
Make the sauce ahead of time for a quick meal.
