Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi

Ingredients

Gnocchi

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil but drained, and chopped
  • 16 oz potato gnocchi
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs from Provence
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 7 oz canned artichoke hearts chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves no sprigs

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large, high-sided skillet. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, uncooked potato gnocchi, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring.
  • Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with a lid, simmer the gnocchi for about 5 minutes on medium heat while the sauce boils on low setting.
  • Add fresh spinach and chopped artichokes, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 more minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking. Cook longer if you would like a thicker sauce.
  • Season with more salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, red pepper flakes, and paprika, if you like. Optionally, top with fresh thyme (snipped, no sprigs).
