Ingredients
•
1 (18 ounce) package gnocchi
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
•
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
•
4 cloves garlic, minced
•
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
•
3/4 cup reserved pasta water
•
4 cups baby spinach
•
1 (5 1/5 ounce) package garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin®)
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat, and pour in cream.
3
Scoop out 3/4 cup of cooking water and set aside. Place spinach in the bottom of a colander and drain the gnocchi over the spinach to wilt it.
4
Stir cheese into the skillet and add reserved cooking water; keep stirring until cheese is melted.
5
Add gnocchi and wilted spinach to the skillet and stir until well combined. Serve immediately.
