Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and slightly translucent.
- Add the diced red bell pepper and minced garlic. Sauté everything together for another 2-3 minutes until the pepper is soft and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the gnocchi and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle the fresh spinach over the gnocchi and add the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Make four wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook for 3-5 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Once the eggs are done, remove the skillet from heat. Optionally garnish the dish with freshly grated Parmesan and herbs.

Keywords: Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi, as they can become hard. Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Adjust the balance of vegetables and gnocchi to ensure a well-rounded meal. For extra flavor, you can squeeze some lemon juice over the finished dish.
