topped with Garlic Butter Breadcrumbs & Parmesan
- Milk
- Wheat
Raise your hand if you’re obsessed with anything gnocchi. (We've all raised our hands over here.) These little potato-based dumplings deliver an extra-tender, extra-carby bite, and here, they're paired with spinach and colorful grape tomatoes, then tossed in a creamy sauce. To top things off—in this case literally—there’s a layer of garlicky panko breadcrumbs. Once you take a bite, don’t be surprised when you find yourself making excuses to whip up the dish again and again!

Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve tomatoes.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko and cook, stirring, until golden and toasted, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later) and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper. Wipe out pan.
• Once water is boiling, add gnocchi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Drain and set aside.
• While gnocchi cooks, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add remaining garlic powder and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4), stock concentrate, and cream cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until combined and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir tomatoes and spinach into pan with sauce. Cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are softened, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir drained gnocchi into pan with sauce until thoroughly coated. (TIP: If needed, add a splash or two of water until gnocchi is coated in a creamy sauce.) Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Divide gnocchi between bowls and top with Parmesan. Sprinkle with as many garlic butter breadcrumbs as you like. Add a pinch of chili flakes to taste and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very tasty and fast to make. I ended up adding a lot of my own seasonings. This needed more garlic powder, and I added an Italian blend, too. I know I always have to de-stem spinach but that was the longest part of the process. As a side note: do NOT put gnocchi in the Instant Pot. It turned out okay but the IP overcooked it. My fault, not a flaw in the recipe.
The spinach & tomatoes were the best part of this dish; the herbs made them delicious! We may not have treated the gnocchi correctly because they were a bit chewy.
The gnocchi is always a lovely treat, and paired with the tomato's and spinach made it delicious!
This was absolutely delicious! The fresh tomatoes and spinach lighten up the luxurious gnocchi.
Really nice, simple Friday night dinner. Needed onions and garlic which I added, and subbed a little wine for some of the water. Loved the gnocchi and spinach.
I thought this meal was fantastic and simple in the best way! Loved the way the acidity from the grape tomatoes cut through the fat of the sauce refreshing the palate. The sauce with the garlic breadcrumbs gave it this really comforting garlic butter taste that soothed my soul. Really want this again!
Great combination of flavors. The chicken sausage in any dish is always a hit! The gnocchi turned out great if you don't overcook it still has a little bite. Love the spinach and sauce flavors plus a little heat.
I sauté the gnocchi in a pan with butter instead of boiling it. It takes this meal to another level. Might be worth adding an alternate cooking method to the recipe card.
Really tasty dish! There's something about gnocchi that makes a meal instantly fancy. We really enjoyed the flavors of this dish.
Very good dish! I'd never made gnocchi before, the directions were easy to follow, and the dish turned out to be very good!
