Ingredients

  • Cook gnocchi according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, combine marinara sauce, roasted red peppers, garlic and red pepper flakes if desired in the blender and blend until smooth.

  • When finished, carefully stir in the spinach to distribute. Sprinkle goat cheese {or preferred cheese} over the top. Serve hot.
