Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Peel, then finely chop shallot. Roughly chop spinach. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Stir together cream, cream cheese, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Parmesan in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup warm water (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with pepper, then whisk to combine. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then gnocchi and 2 tbsp water. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook gnocchi in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp water per batch.) Cover and cook until gnocchi softens, 3-4 min. When gnocchi is soft, uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown all over, 3-4 min. Transfer gnocchi to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Return the pan to medium-high. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then zucchini and peas. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 3-4 min. Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 min.Season with salt and pepper.
Add sauce and spinach to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-3 min. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper.
Add gnocchi to the pan with sauce, then toss to coat. Divide gnocchi between plates. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top. Sprinkle with chili flakes, to taste.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Creamy, cheesy, and delicious with a nice balance of flavors; some found it a bit rich or bland.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though some had trouble pan-frying the gnocchi without sticking.
- Suggestions: Consider adding protein like chicken or bacon; some preferred less zucchini or no peas.
- Leftovers: Doesn't reheat well; gnocchi becomes hard and chewy the next day.
- Portions: Several found the serving size small for two people; adding a side salad could help.
