Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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. 

Notes

  • 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.
