Ingredients

  • 30 ounces gnocchi , this is typically 2 packages
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese , softened
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
  2. Add gnocchi, tossing to brown on all sides for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk mascarpone with zest from one lemon and fresh lemon juice from one lemon, 1/2 cup water, Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.
  4. When gnocchi is mostly lightly browned, add 1/2 fresh spinach. Use tongs to toss with gnocchi until it fully wilts. Add remaining spinach until wilted, then garlic, cooking 1 minute longer. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Toss gnocchi and spinach with mascarpone sauce until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add drained and blotted sundried tomatoes and top with Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve immediately and make sure to come back to let us know how it was in the comments or ratings!

Notes

  • *I like to use oil packed sun dried tomatoes because they stay the most tender. You can use them out of a pouch too to skip this step. Make sure you drain them well and then blot with a paper towel so there is isn't excess oil.
