Ingredients
  

1 lb potato gnocchi

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Gnocchi: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

      Add Tomatoes and Spinach: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

        Create the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine. Then, add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Gently fold in the cooked gnocchi, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
