  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese (plus extra to garnish)****

  • Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, and fine sea salt. Stir for 1 minute.
    2 teaspoon minced garlic, ¾ teaspoon dried oregano, ¾ teaspoon dried basil, ¾ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Add the vegetable broth and the can of cannelini beans. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil.
    2 ½ cup vegetable broth, 1 can cannelini beans
  • Add the gnocchi to the boiling broth, breaking them up so they aren't stuck together. Make sure that the gnocchi is in one even layer so that it can cook evenly. Cook the gnocchi on high heat (boiling) for about 3-4 minutes, until the gnocchi is soft and pillowy.

  • Once the gnocchi is done cooking, turn the heat down to low and mix in the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese. Then add the baby spinach and mix in until wilted.

  • Serve immediately, and top with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

*You can buy sun dried tomatoes that aren't packaged in oil. This keeps the dish from turning out too oily. This is the kind that I buy: Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomatoes
**The salt content in this largely varies depending on the kind of vegetable broth you use. If you're worried about this dish turning out too salty, start with either less salt or use low sodium broth.
***You can use either cannelini beans or Great Northern beans, whichever is easiest to find.
****I find that using fresh parmesan cheese that you grate yourself mixes better into this dish. Pre-grated parmesan is usually very dry and will just settle at the bottom of the pan.
