Notes
Use high-quality feta cheese for maximum flavor. Don't overcook the gnocchi; they should be tender yet firm. For a richer flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving. Store leftovers in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Make sure the spinach is dry before adding it to prevent excess water in the sauce.
