  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float. Drain and set aside.

  5. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add fresh spinach to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  7. Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring well to combine.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed. Serve immediately.
