Gnocchi Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach…

This delightful Italian-inspired dish combines pillowy gnocchi with rich sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, this hearty yet refreshing salad is sure to please.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) gnocchi
  • 1 cup (60g) julienned sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups (60g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp pine nuts for garnish (optional)

How to make Gnocchi Salad:

  1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomatoes: If using oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drain and slice into strips. For dry-packed tomatoes, rehydrate in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and slice.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add the cooked gnocchi, tossing to coat with the garlic and oil mixture.
  5. Wilt the Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with pine nuts if desired.
