Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the gnocchi.

While the water is heating, heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the lemon cream sauce.

Step 8

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the thawed peas and grated Parmesan cheese, allowing everything to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and give everything a final stir to ensure the gnocchi is evenly coated in the sauce.
