Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Potato gnocchi
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Lemon zest
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 100 g Fresh spinach
- 100 g Frozen peas, thawed
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 pieces Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the gnocchi.
While the water is heating, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to gently warm through, about 2 minutes.
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the sauce, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the lemon cream sauce.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the thawed peas and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing everything to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and give everything a final stir to ensure the gnocchi is evenly coated in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Gnocchi Al Limone Con Spinaci E Piselli!
