Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces Potato GnocchiÂ
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oilÂ
- ½ Cup Onion, finely dicedÂ
- 1 Garlic clove, mincedÂ
- ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 2 Tablespoons ButterÂ
- 2 Tablespoons FlourÂ
- 1 1/4 Cups Whole MilkÂ
- ÂĽ teaspoon Ground NutmegÂ
- ½ Cup Grated ParmesanÂ
- 4 ounces Fresh Spinach, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 1 Lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Add a Tablespoon of a light oil in a medium size pot (not a skillet) over medium heat. Once warm, add the onion and sautĂ© until the onion softens and becomes translucent. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.  Add the garlic and cook for another minute.Â
- Add the butter and stir until it has completely melted. Sprinkle the flour around the pan and stir until combined. Cook for an additional minute.Â
- Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. If there are any large lumps of roux, whisk them until smooth.Â
- Bring the sauce just to a bubble and simmer until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the ground nutmeg, thyme, parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Stir to completely combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and check for thickness. If it has become too thick, add a little more milk. Â
- Add the gnocchi and spinach and continue to cook over low heat until the gnocchi are warmed through – approx. 3 minutes.Â
- Serve immediately topped with additional fresh shaved parmesan.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
