Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (About 120 g.)
  • 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled (About 115 g.)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi and set them aside to drain.
  • In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy on one side.
  • Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they get crispy on all sides.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  • Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until it wilts, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to combine with the other ingredients. Serve immediately on plates.
