A comforting, easy, and delicious weeknight dinner featuring gnocchi in a creamy ricotta and parmesan sauce with fresh spinach and a hint of bright lemon. This recipe is completely halal-friendly and can be prepared in a single pot in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

16 oz Potato Gnocchi
5 cups Fresh Spinach
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
1.5 cups Halal Chicken Broth
3 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
To taste Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned
  2. Pour in the halal chicken broth and the lemon juice. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer. Add the potato gnocchi directly into the pan and stir well. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the gnocchi are tender
  3. Remove the lid and stir in the fresh spinach. Continue to stir until the spinach is bright green and completely wilted
  4. Turn the heat to low. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese and the grated parmesan. Stir until the cheeses melt together, creating a creamy sauce
  5. Taste and add salt and freshly cracked black pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more broth and serve immediately

Notes

Do not overcook the gnocchi; check them at the 3-minute mark to ensure a firm texture.

Always use fresh lemon juice as it provides the necessary acidity to balance the richness of the cheese without using vinegar or wine.

Make sure your spinach is dry before adding it to the pan to avoid making the sauce too runny.

For a flavor boost, you can lightly brown the gnocchi in olive oil before adding the broth.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat with a splash of broth.
