Ingredients
  

  • 500 g store-bought gnocchi homemade works well too
  • 100 g sundried tomatoes cut in halve
  • 1 tablespoon sundried tomato oil this is optional but great for flavour. substitute for butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules substitute with 1 fresh garlic clove
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese and more to serve

Instructions
 

  • Boil the fresh gnocchi in salted boiling water for 1 minute with a little bit of oil, this stops it from sticking together. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the boiled gnocchi to a bowl making sure you shake off excess water from it. Then transfer it on a kitchen towel to drain off more liquid. Reserve about a cup of the water and set aside.
  • Heat up some olive oil and sundried tomato oil in a skillet until hot, carefully add the gnocchi making sure it is on a single layer so that each one touches the hot pan. Leave it to cook on that one side for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Using a fork or a slotted turner, flip the gnocchi to the other side. Add the sundried tomatoes, garlic granules, salt and pepper and carefully mix to combine. Cook for another 1 minute, then add the spinach with about ⅓ cup of the pasta water, cover the pan if you can so the spinach wilts, this takes about 1 minute. Remove the lid then stir the dish, finally, add about a tablespoon of grated parmesan or as needed, stir to combine and take it off the heat. Serve immediately on its own with more parmesan cheese as a main meal or as a side dish. Enjoy!
