Instructions

In a large pot or frying pan with a lid, heat the butter or oil on low heat.
Saute the gnocchi in a single layer for about 5 minutes until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Add the asparagus, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the cover and make a space in the center of pot. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lemon juice, cream, and peas. and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the baby spinach. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

This recipe will make two generous servings of lemon gnocchi as a main course or four significant sides.
Frying the gnocchi gives you a crisper outside than boiling, which seems to result in dense dumplings.
Feel free to serve your gnocchi with some freshly grated Parmesan. And sub other green spring vegetables or greens for the asparagus and spinach.
