Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced crimini mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until browned and juices release. Remove half and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add 16 ounces of potato gnocchi, ½ cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 4 cloves of minced garlic. Stir in ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Once gnocchi are tender, add 5 ounces of fresh spinach. Stir gently until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Sprinkle reserved mushrooms on top before serving.
