This yummy recipe came from the May 2006 issue of Gourmet. Its a delicious dinner that only takes about 10 minutes. And I only burned myself twice making it this evening.

Ingredients:

• 1 (1 LB) package potato gnocchi
• 2/3 cup heavy cream (i used half and half instead)
• 1/2 tsp flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 15 oz. fresh baby spinach (or about 3 packages)
• 1/2 cup ricotta (I used skim, but feel free to use whole)
• 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler
2. Cook gnocchi in a pot of boiling salted water, according to package instructions (gnocchi wil float when done). Drain.
3. Wisk together cream, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a large oven proof skillet, then bring to a boil over medium heat, wisking. Continue to boil, wisking frequently, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
4. Add handfuls of spinach to skillet, tossing with tongs, and cook until wilted, 2 – 4 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in gnocchi.
5. Spoon ricotta over gnocchi in about 5 dollops and sprinkle with mozzarella.
6. Broil 4 – 6 inches from heat until cheese is browned and bubbling in spots, about 2 minutes. Season with pepper.
