Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and chili flakes. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and broth. Stir to combine and let the liquid come to a gentle simmer.
Add the gnocchi directly into the skillet. Stir so they are submerged. Cover the pan and let them cook in the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes until plump and tender.
Remove the lid and stir in Parmesan cheese and fresh spinach. Keep stirring for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted and the spinach has wilted.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or extra broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When measuring Parmesan cheese, ensure it's grated finely so it melts smoothly into the sauce.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a little extra broth or water at the end.
Adjust the chili flakes to your spice preference for a milder or spicier dish.
Can I use frozen gnocchi for this recipe?
Yes, frozen gnocchi can be used. Just ensure they are thawed before adding them to the skillet.
Can I substitute heavy cream with a lighter option?
You can use half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative, but the sauce may be less rich.
What can I serve with Marry Me Gnocchi?
A simple green salad or garlic bread pairs well with this dish.
Can I make this dish vegetarian?
Yes, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make it vegetarian.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
