Creamy Tuscan Gnocchi is a 20-minute one-pan comfort food featuring lots of veggies (spinach, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes) and bold spices (paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic, and Italian seasoning)! It's a perfect meatless meal or a side dish to your favorite proteins! This recipe works with any kind of gnocchi: store-bought shelf-stable, frozen, homemade, or cauliflower gnocchi.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large, high-sided skillet. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, uncooked potato gnocchi, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with a lid, simmer the gnocchi for about 5 minutes on medium heat while the sauce boils on low setting.
Add fresh spinach and chopped artichokes, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 more minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking. Cook longer if you would like a thicker sauce.
Season with more salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, red pepper flakes, and paprika, if you like. Optionally, top with fresh thyme (snipped, no sprigs).
