1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add gnocchi in a single layer. Cook 7–9 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Add remaining oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.

4. Add spinach and red pepper flakes. Cook until wilted, seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Return crispy gnocchi to the skillet and toss to combine.

6. Top with crumbled feta and optional Parmesan. Serve immediately.

No need to boil the gnocchi—pan-frying delivers the perfect crispy texture.

Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet for even browning.

Don’t overcrowd the skillet for best results.
