Sweet Potato Gnocchi With Spinach And Sun-dried Tomato

This easiest one pan sweet potato gnocchi with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes is perfect for weeknight dinners. Homemade gnocchi tossed in with fresh spinach, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese.

Actually, this recipe is in continuation of my last recipe post which was about making sweet potato gnocchi at home. However, if you are not a fan of sweet potato, feel free to use traditional potato gnocchi instead.

Tushar is a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes. He is absolutely crazy about it. And if he gets his hands on them, he can add them on literally any dish you can possibly think of (crazy right??). Well, I can imagine his love for sun-dried tomatoes as I enjoy them too (:D). So don’t be surprised, if you find a ton of recipes using sun-dried tomatoes in the blog archive with time. It’s just our way of showing love for them. Without further adieu, let’s get to the recipe.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi With Spinach

If you already have gnocchi prepared then it’s just a matter of 15-20 min to make this dish. Just fry some garlic in olive oil and toss in cooked gnocchi in a nonstick pan. Stir-fry for few mins. until they get a golden brown crust. Then add a generous amount of baby spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and some Parmesan cheese. Saute further for a couple of minutes or until the spinach wilt down.

Recipe variations:

• You can use homemade or store bought traditional gnocchi instead of ones prepared using sweet potatoes.
• Omit Parmesan cheese or use vegan Parmesan if you are following a vegan diet.
• For added protein, you can also toss in grilled or cooked chicken breast pieces.
