Creamy Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Spinach

Ingredients

1 lb potato gnocchi

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

4 cups fresh baby spinach

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown and release their moisture.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

Add the cooked gnocchi and fresh spinach to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until the spinach is wilted.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the creamy gnocchi hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Enjoy this comforting and indulgent yet nutritious creamy gnocchi dish as a satisfying vegetarian main course or side dish!

The Summer Cookbook You Never Bought

Preserving summer produce through techniques like freezing, making jam, and roasting in olive oil extends the availability of nutritionally dense peak-season ingredients well beyond their natural season — allowing the cook to access the higher vitamin and antioxidant content of in-season produce throughout the year. Berries frozen at peak ripeness retain most of their antioxidant content for up to a year, research shows, making the simple act of spreading fresh berries on a sheet pan and freezing them one of the most nutritionally efficient food preservation techniques available to any home cook.

Sesame Ginger Edamame Bites

Edamame is one of the most complete plant-based protein sources available—delivering all nine essential amino acids in a single ingredient alongside significant fiber, folate, and isoflavones linked to cardiovascular health. At nearly as much protein per serving as a hard-boiled egg, it’s one of the hardest-working ingredients in any snack rotation.

Smoky Chipotle Black Bean & Farro Bowls

Farro and black beans together form one of the most nutritionally complete plant-based meal combinations available—the beans contribute lysine-rich protein that farro lacks, while the farro provides methionine-rich protein that beans lack, creating a complete amino acid profile equivalent to animal protein when eaten in the same meal. This is whole-food complementary protein done exactly right.
