Ingredients
– 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Gnocchi with Garlic Smoked Paprika Sauce:
1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float, usually about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onion: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add Garlic and Mushrooms: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and browned.
4. Incorporate Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring until it’s wilted, which should take about 2 minutes.
5. Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add smoked paprika. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
6. Combine with Gnocchi: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet, gently tossing to coat them evenly with the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
