Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter 

½ onion, finely diced 

4 garlic cloves, minced 

1 cup chicken broth 

1½ cups heavy cream 

4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil

salt and pepper, to taste 

red pepper flakes, to taste 

1 pound gnocchi (shelf-stable or refrigerated) 

1 cup fresh baby spinach

4 ounces Parmesan cheese

4 to 5 fresh basil leaves, cut into ribbons

1Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and onion and let cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring often. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. 

2Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and optional Italian seasonings. Stir together. 

3Add in gnocchi and let simmer in sauce for 5 minutes. 

4Stir in baby spinach (I suggest tearing into small pieces or chopping) and Parmesan cheese. Stir in fresh basil (reserving some for the garnish).
