A quick and easy one-pot gnocchi recipe featuring crispy edges, savory sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach for a comforting and fuss-free dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) store-bought potato gnocchi
  • 1/3 cup (50g) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed preferred)
  • 4 cups (120g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes finely, mince garlic cloves, and roughly chop the fresh spinach. Set aside the Parmesan cheese.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Warm until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the gnocchi in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Push gnocchi to one side of the pan and add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Add chopped spinach to the pan. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green. Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Let it melt slightly from residual heat for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Spoon the crispy gnocchi mixture onto plates, ensuring to include crispy edges and spinach. Serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure gnocchi crisps properly. Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for richer flavor and better texture. Dry spinach well before adding to prevent sogginess. For vegan option, omit Parmesan or use a vegan cheese substitute. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
