Description

A rich, one-pan comfort meal featuring pillowy gnocchi simmered in a creamy garlic-Parmesan mushroom sauce with fresh spinach—ready in just 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 12 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 heaping tsp Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 lb uncooked potato gnocchi (shelf-stable)
  • 2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion, cook 5 minutes.
  2. Add mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook 5 minutes, stirring.
  3. Stir in Dijon and wine; let bubble for a minute.
  4. Add cream and gnocchi. Once bubbling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in spinach, cover, and cook 3 more minutes.
  6. Stir in Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Use shelf-stable gnocchi for best results. Substitute wine with broth if preferred. Avoid freezing—cream sauces with gnocchi don’t thaw well.
