Crispy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta
This Crispy Gnocchi with Spinach and Feta is the ultimate solution for those nights when you want a gourmet-style meal without the long hours in the kitchen. Unlike boiled pasta, these gnocchi are pan-seared until they develop a beautiful golden crust, offering a delightful "crunch" that gives way to a pillowy, soft center.
Ingredients
- 1 package 16 oz Potato gnocchi
- 4 cups Fresh baby spinach
- ½ cup Feta cheese crumbled

- ¼ tsp Salt
