This is one of those dinners that feels fancy but comes together in one skillet with just a few pantry staples.
Creamy, cozy, and bursting with rich tomato flavor — this One-Pan Sun-Dried Tomato Gnocchi is pure comfort food, made clean and simple.

The gnocchi gets pan-seared until golden, then simmered in a creamy, garlicky sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach stirred in at the end. It’s satisfying, high in fiber, and honestly just so easy.

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 oz) package shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)

• ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or low-sodium broth

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative

• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast

• 2 cups baby spinach

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or lemon zest for topping

Instructions:

1. Pan-sear the gnocchi
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add gnocchi straight from the package (no boiling needed) and sauté for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy on the outside. Remove and set aside.

2. Make the sauce
   In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add almond milk and bring to a gentle simmer.

3. Cream it up
   Reduce heat and stir in Greek yogurt and Parmesan. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Add greens & finish
   Stir in spinach and cooked gnocchi. Cook 1–2 more minutes until spinach is wilted and gnocchi is coated in sauce. Top with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if you like.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Dairy-free? Use coconut yogurt and nutritional yeast instead of cheese.

• More protein? Add white beans or chopped chicken sausage.

• Make it meal prep-friendly: Store in the fridge and reheat with a splash of almond milk.

• Change it up: Try arugula or kale instead of spinach.
