Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi (20 Minutes, ONE-PAN)

Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi is a 20-minute one-pan comfort food featuring lots of veggies (spinach, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes) and bold spices (paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic, and Italian seasoning). It’s a perfect meatless meal or side dish.[1]

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained and chopped
  • 16 oz potato gnocchi
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 7 oz canned artichoke hearts, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large non-stick pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 oz chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir for 1 minute.[1]
  2. Add 16 oz potato gnocchi, 5 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and gnocchi starts to lightly brown.[1]
  3. Add ½ cup chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 4-5 minutes until gnocchi is tender and sauce thickens slightly.[1]
  4. Stir in 5 oz fresh spinach and 7 oz chopped artichoke hearts until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Add ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve immediately.[1]

Notes

Use potato gnocchi (store-bought, frozen, or cauliflower for low-carb). Substitute kale or frozen spinach for fresh spinach. For vegan version, use coconut cream and nutritional yeast instead of heavy cream and omit thyme if desired.[1]
