Stages of cooking
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat, and pour in cream.
-
Scoop out 3/4 cup of cooking water and set aside. Place spinach in the bottom of a colander and drain the gnocchi over the spinach to wilt it.
-
Stir cheese into the skillet and add reserved cooking water; keep stirring until cheese is melted.
-
Add gnocchi and wilted spinach to the skillet and stir until well combined. Serve immediately.
