Step 1

Cook the gnocchi according to the packaging instructions. Here: I cooked them for 3-4 minutes in salted water. They are usually done when floating.

Step 2

In the meantime, heat heavy cream and pesto in a small saucepan or pan. If using preserved lemon, add it as well. Let cook, stirring, for a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper. If you prefer a stronger basil flavor, add more pesto.

Step 3

Towards the end of the cooking time, add spinach, if using, and remove the sauce from the heat. The spinach will wilt within seconds.

Step 4

Drain gnocchi and mix with the sauce. To finish, I love to grate some Parmesan and/or lemon zest on top.
