Notes
Make sure not to overcook the gnocchi; they should be soft but not mushy. For a touch of freshness, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. You can use frozen spinach if fresh is not available; just make sure to thaw and drain any excess water. To store leftovers, place the cooled dish in an airtight container and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
