Gnocchi with spinach alfredo sauce
May. 17th, 2011 08:03 pmThis is so good. If you make your own gnocchi, you could probably incorporate some spinach into it. Otherwise...
For this one, a stick blender is nice.
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp minced garlic (about 2-3 cloves)
1 cup milk
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
2 cups rinsed baby spinach
salt to taste
1/4-1/2 cup fresh-shredded parmesan cheese
1 pkg prepared gnocchi (12 oz to 1 lb)
Bring 4 qts salted water to a boil.
Saute the garlic in butter. Add the milk. Bring to a boil.
Stir in spinach. Mix in cream cheese. You will have lumps.
Allow to thicken and reduce. When it tastes the way you want it to, put the stick blender to it and get it creamy.
Boil gnocchi for about 4-5 min according to package directions.
Add parmesan to sauce.
Serve immediately. I defy you not to eat the whole mess while dunking your bread in the sauce.
