Creamy Balsamic Gnocchi

I purchased some pre-made Gnocchi last week but I didn't have a chance to cook it until today. I was looking at a couple of different Gnocchi online and a lot of them were tomato based but I wanted something a little creamier. Looking in my fridge, I had spinach, cream, peppers and some random cheeses. Looked like just enough stuff to make my Creamy Balsamic Penne only with Gnocchi.



Ingredients:
1 Package  - Gnocchi
3 tbsp - Butter
1/4 - Red Onion, chopped
4 - Mushrooms, sliced
1/2 - Orange Pepper, sliced
1/2 - Head of Garlic, minced (yes, a half a head, 3 or 4 large cloves)
1 cup - Baby Spinach, torn into pieces
1.5 cups - Whipping Cream (you can substitute with milk if needed)
1 Tbsp - Flour
2 tbsp - Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 tsp - Chili Pepper flakes
1/2 cup - Crumbled Feta
1/2 cup - Walnuts



Directions:
Slice up the mushrooms and orange pepper, then chop up the onion and garlic.

Put the butter in a frying pan and add the mushrooms, pepper and onions. Put on a pot of water to start boiling for the Gnocchi.

Fry for 5 or so minutes on medium heat until the veggies start to become translucent then add the garlic and cook for a minute more. At this point you should add the Gnocchi to the water as it will only take a couple of minutes to cook.

Pour in the cream and add the flour (helping with thickening the sauce. Whisk the flour around a little bit.

Add in the Balsamic, spinach, chili flakes (remember that a little goes a long way) and a little bit of salt and pepper.

Mix everything together and cook for a couple of minutes.

Using a slotted spoon transfer the Gnocchi into the frying pan.

Mix everything together.

Plat and top with crumbled Feta and Walnut pieces.
