Notes
Start by heating olive oil in a skillet, which will form the base of your flavorful sauce. Cook the onions first to build a savory foundation, followed by garlic for that aromatic punch. While these soften and release their fragrance, you’ll prepare the creamy base by adding heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. These ingredients create a rich sauce that thickens as it cooks. Meanwhile, boil your gnocchi in salted water, which should only take a few minutes. Once the sauce begins to thicken, stir in sun-dried tomatoes for a sweet and tangy element and fresh spinach for color and nutrition. Finally, drain your gnocchi and toss it into the skillet with the sauce, allowing the gnocchi to absorb all the flavors. Season to taste and garnish with fresh basil for a perfect finish.
