This easy one-pan gnocchi recipe brings together pillowy gnocchi with fresh tomatoes, spinach, and a creamy sauce for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal. Minimal cleanup and maximum flavor!
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or a deep, wide pan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Stir in the gnocchi, halved cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid, then stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Feel free to customize this dish with other vegetables like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick!
