Notes

Store any leftover Creamy Gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; the gnocchi might soften slightly but will still be delicious.
To reheat, gently warm leftovers on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or vegetable broth to restore its creamy texture if needed.
Serve this comforting gnocchi dish with a simple side salad dressed with vinaigrette or a slice of crusty bread to soak up every last bit of the delicious creamy sauce.
For an extra layer of warmth and complexity, be sure to use freshly grated nutmeg; its subtle aroma truly enhances the creamy sauce and pairs wonderfully with the spinach.
