Spinach & Broccoli Gnocchi with Cream Sauce

The weather has been quite weird this year, and most of the time, the days are pretty cold and gloomy. These days, I am craving some sunlight, and the need for it is urgent.

When we moved to Charlotte a few years back, the man of the house was pleased to live in a warmer climate, as he was excited that he wouldn't have to shovel snow.

Honestly, the kids and I miss the snow. The first snowfall is always special, and looking back, we miss those snow days and the warmth of hot chocolate.

This year, winter has been particularly harsh. It's cold, there's no snow, and it is not at all pleasant.

Lately, Friday dinners are always the kids' favourite or super simple /comforting.

Don't you enjoy Friday evenings? Most of the time, our Friday dinner is a comforting and elaborate Indian meal. We love to sit back and enjoy. With the kids being at home and the online school life hectic, we need a few moments of fun in between.

Also, have you ever tasted Gnocchi? Our family and I love these soft, pillowy dumplings, and I usually cook them on hectic days.

These are pastas made of potatoes, and their texture is super soft. Cooked into this garlic cream sauce, they taste super delicious. I have also used some spinach and broccoli for the added green effect.

What Ingredients are needed to make this pasta?

Gnocchi

Spinach

Marinara Sauce

Broccoli

Onion

Garlic

Red Pepper

Black Pepper powder

Heavy Cream/Almond Milk/Cashew Milk

Olive Oil /Butter

Parmesan Cheese (optional)

How To Boil Gnocchi-

Firstly, bring a big pot of water to a boil. Then, add a little bit of salt to it. When it starts boiling, add gnocchi to it. After around 7-8 minutes, you will see that the Gnocchi will start floating. Then, when it starts floating, collect it with the help of a slotted spoon. Don't let it cook for too long.
