Scale
- 1 lb potato gnocchi

- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Notes
For added protein, top the dish with grilled chicken or toasted pine nuts. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors beautifully.
