Creamy Spinach Gnocchi

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions, typically about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water, and set aside.

Melt butter over medium heat in the same pot, add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in flour, and whisk constantly for about 1 to 2 minutes to cook out any raw flour taste.

Gradually add cream and Parmesan, stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is just starting to thicken, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is a little thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to thin it.

Stir in spinach and gnocchi; cook until spinach has wilted and sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.

Garnish with more Parmesan, a squeeze of lemon, and serve.
