Servings: 4
- 8 ounces cream cheese (block of Philly) softened
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken or veg broth
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1 (14 fluid ounce) can artichokes (packed in water) drained and chopped
- 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
I suggest letting the cream cheese sit on the counter for a while - it's much easier to work with when it's softened or microwave it for 20-30 sec. Roughly chop your artichokes.
Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cream cheese until it's melty.
Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about a minute.
Add the chicken broth and stir the sauce until it's smooth.
Add the gnocchi and artichokes. Give it a good stir.
Add the spinach to the pan. I just let it sit on top.
Cover the pan and let it cook for 5 minutes.
Stir in the cheese and let the gnocchi cook uncovered for another couple of minutes until it's cooked through.
Season gnocchi with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
- This recipe is pretty rich; I suggest having it as a side dish vs. a main course.
- Serves 4-6 as a side or 2-3 as a main course.
- I didn't use low-sodium chicken broth, but I like my food fairly salty. I suggest using low-sodium if you have any concerns.
- The gnocchi cooks right in the sauce - there's no need to pre-cook it. I buy the shelf-stable kind found in the pasta aisle of most grocery stores.
- If you want to make this recipe with regular pasta, I suggest trying my Spinach Artichoke Pasta recipe instead.
