- In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Let it warm up until it shimmers.
- Add the boiled gnocchi to the hot oil, cooking undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then stir gently to crisp all sides.
- Lower the heat and add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Toss in 4 cups of fresh spinach, stirring until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Fold in 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese until it melts slightly. Serve immediately.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving for added richness. For leftovers, reheat in a pan for best results.
