Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 250 g fresh spinach, chopped
- 100 g cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp milk (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (or substitute with vinegar)

Instructions
- Start by peeling and slicing the onion. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion for 3-5 minutes until it softens and starts to brown.

- Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese and milk. Mix well until combined. Add the lemon juice and capers, cover, and remove from heat.
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips. Stir it into the spinach sauce right at the end. Serve with the gnocchi and enjoy!
