Prepare the Gnocchi
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package directions, typically 2 to 3 minutes until they float. Drain the gnocchi, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Sauté Aromatics
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
Wilt Spinach
- Add the fresh spinach (or squeezed frozen spinach) to the skillet with the aromatics. Cook, stirring constantly, until the spinach has wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano.
Make the Sauce
- Pour in the heavy cream. Reduce the heat to low and let the cream simmer for about 2 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken. Stir frequently.
- Add the grated Parmesan (if using) and at least half of the crumbled feta cheese. Stir until melted and incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved gnocchi water. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked, drained gnocchi into the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi with the sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through.
- Transfer to warm bowls. Sprinkle the remaining crumbled feta over the top. Garnish with lemon zest, fresh dill, or parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
