Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gnocchi and set aside to drain.
In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cooked gnocchi and cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on one side.
Gently stir the gnocchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they get crispy on all sides.
Reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan, stirring gently until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, allowing it to combine with other ingredients. Serve immediately on plates.
Notes
For a variation, add cherry tomatoes or other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding the gnocchi for the perfect crispy texture. You can substitute the spinach with other leafy greens such as kale or Swiss chard. This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat on a pan to maintain crispiness.
