Print Recipe

A quick and easy one-pot recipe combining creamy sauce, tender spinach, tangy artichokes, and pillowy gnocchi for a comforting and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound store-bought potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add chopped fresh spinach and drained artichoke hearts. Cook for 3-4 minutes until spinach wilts and artichokes warm through, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in 1 cup vegetable broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and bring to a low simmer.
  4. Add gnocchi to the simmering sauce, spreading evenly. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking.
  5. Check gnocchi tenderness; if needed, cover and cook for another 1-2 minutes until tender but holding shape.
  6. Remove lid and stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste.
  7. Simmer on low heat for 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce, coating the gnocchi nicely.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a fresh side salad or crusty bread.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best flavor and avoid burning it. Stir gently after adding cheese to keep gnocchi tender. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or cream. Drain canned artichokes well to avoid excess saltiness. Frozen spinach can be used if thawed and drained. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cheese alternatives. Gluten-free gnocchi can be used for gluten-free version.
