A delicious, easy-to-prepare meal that is great for dinner or dinner parties. I like to use whole wheat gnocchi. Top with additional grated cheese and some finely chopped basil.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi pasta

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup sliced baby portobello mushrooms

  • 3 cups baby spinach

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Toss in spinach, basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until spinach is wilted and sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Add gnocchi and stir until coated in sauce; cook for 2 more minutes.

Recipe Tip

Any hard or semi-hard Italian cheese, such as aged pecorino or Asiago, can be used in place of Parmesan.
