So this is another recipe that I got from Delish and modified it to my preferences. The original recipe uses chicken and chicken broth, I subbed that for asparagus and veggie broth. I wasn't to sure how this was going to pan out but it was soooo good, perfect for the colder months. I made this a few months ago and used it for meal prep for the week. It was so nice to come home and heat this up real quick, easy and delicious. If you are a lover of gnocchi your going to love this recipe.
Ingredients:
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small shallot, diced 8 oz.
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 c. low-sodium veggie broth
1 1/4 c. half and half
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 (17-oz.) package gnocchi
3/4 c. shredded mozzarella
1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan
3 c. packed baby spinach
asparagus, bunch cut into small pieces
Directions:
Step 1 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil, reduce heat to medium and add shallot about 3-5 minutes., add garlic, thyme, and oregano and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add broth and scrape up any brown bits on bottom of pan, then slowly add in half and half. Bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir in gnocchi and add asparagus. Let simmer until asparagus is tender and cooked through about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2 Add cheeses and stir until melted, then add spinach and stir until wilted.
Step 3 Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
This is a really easy meal to make and you can make it vegan if you wanted. You also can check out the original recipe if you want the chicken version, I do pay for the membership with them so I am not sure it this is a free recipe or not. If your not by now following me on social, find me over on IG :)
As always thanks for reading
XOXO Nikki
