  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

16 oz potato gnocchi

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence

½ tsp smoked paprika (plus more if desired)

5 oz fresh spinach

¼ tsp salt (or more, to taste)

Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste

Red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

In a large, high-sided skillet, heat olive oil over high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until browned and softened. Remove half and set aside.

To the remaining mushrooms in the skillet, add gnocchi, chicken broth, cream, garlic, seasoning, paprika, and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Cover and let the gnocchi cook in the sauce for about 5 minutes.

Add fresh spinach and stir frequently for another 5 minutes, until wilted and sauce thickens to your liking.

Season with additional salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and more paprika if desired.

Top with the reserved mushrooms and serve hot.
