CREAMY SPINACH AND PINE NUT GNOCCHI



Creamy Spinach and Pine Nut Gnocchi image

My favourite Italian dishes usually contain olives and sun-dried tomatoes - this is no exception. Use store-bought gnocchi for a quick weeknight feed or make your own for a special weekend feast. You'll need to use a big pan, because you add the gnocchi to the sauce at the end. From an AWW cookbook.
