Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (16 oz) package gnocchi

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and celery, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and the vegetables begin to soften.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Simmer the Base: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld together, stirring occasionally.

        Cook Gnocchi: After simmering, add the gnocchi to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, which is generally around 2-3 minutes for fresh gnocchi. The gnocchi will float to the top when cooked.

          Make it Creamy: Once the gnocchi is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Allow the soup to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and everything is warmed to your liking.

            Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, and top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for an aromatic finish.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, making sure to savor every comforting spoonful!
