10 Minute Boursin Gnocchi
Ingredients:
2 packages gnocchi
2 wheels of Boursin Cheese (Herb and Garlic)
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 170 oz jar sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic
4 BIG handfuls spinach
Basil for garnish
Parmesan for topping
Directions:
Start by putting a large pot of water on to boil. While the water boils, make your sauce.
Heat a large frying pan over medium meat. Add olive oil and some oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pan, and the Boursin cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese melts. Add in half a cup of cream, the sun-dried tomatoes, and almost a full clamshell of spinach and cook until spinach is wilted.
Cook gnocchi according to package instructions, these don’t take very long at all. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Add gnocchi to Boursin sauce and mix well, and add pasta water as needed to thin out sauce.
Top with fresh basil and parmesan. That’s it! Hit the timer - did you make it in 10 mins?
