Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt plus more
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped herbs such as basil and parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 2 17.5-ounce packages gnocchi
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Preheat broiler to medium. In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and tomato paste, stirring constantly until tomato paste darkens and sticks to the pan, about 2-3 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes and season with oregano, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook until tomatoes start to burst, then add spinach and cook until slightly wilted.
  • Stir in broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, and herbs, bringing to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until they float to the top, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain gnocchi, discarding pasta water, and add them to the sauce, tossing to coat. Top with mozzarella and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Garnish with more herbs and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy gnocchi delight!
