Ingredients

  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • for garnish fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the garlic.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Once simmering, add the potato gnocchi, oregano, and basil. Stir well to ensure the gnocchi is submerged in the broth.
  5. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the gnocchi is tender and floating to the surface.
  6. Stir in the chopped spinach, and let it wilt for about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated into the dish.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and visual appeal.
