Ingredients

Units Scale

Produce

  • 8 oz crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach

Pantry

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or Herbs from Provence)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • Coarsely ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Other

  • 16 oz potato gnocchi, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Cook mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add sliced mushrooms seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until they are lightly browned and softened. Remove half of the cooked mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  2. Make creamy sauce: To the same skillet containing the remaining mushrooms, add the uncooked potato gnocchi, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  3. Simmer gnocchi: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, cover the skillet with a lid and let the gnocchi cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat while the sauce boils, allowing the gnocchi to absorb the flavors and cook through.
  4. Add spinach: Remove the lid and add the fresh spinach to the skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes or until the spinach wilts to your liking. Continue cooking longer if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  5. Season and assemble: Adjust seasoning with additional salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, red pepper flakes, and more smoked paprika if desired. Finally, top the creamy gnocchi and spinach mixture with the reserved cooked mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for best texture; baby spinach works well too.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes and smoked paprika to control the spice level.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook uncovered for a few extra minutes after adding the spinach.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
