From Karen's Kitchen- Petite Steak with Gnocchi

Petite Steak with Gnocchi

It's snowing and very cold out so I was in search of something warm, creamy and filling.  I saw a great recipe online for Gnocchi with corn and  arugula in a light cream sauce.  I do not prefer arugula so I substituted it with spinach.  I picked up 3 Petite steaks at La Bonnes Epicure and headed home on some pretty treacherous roads.  This was my first time making Gnocchi and I have to say, I really liked this.
Ingredients

Petite Steak
1 box of De Cecco Gnocchi
Garlic
Baby Spinach
1 bag of frozen corn
1 box of cream cheese
Half and half

Steak
Salt and  pepper.  Grilled until medium rare.

Gnocchi
First I boiled salted water, cooked the Gnocchi for 2 minutes (they float to the top).
Then I took them out and emptied them into a bowl reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
I then add one block of cream cheese, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, 1/2 cup of half and half, one package of fresh baby spinach, 1 bag of frozen whole kernel corn. Stir until all combined and let it come to a simmer, then while the steaks were finishing up, I put the Gnocchi back into the pot with the sauce and vegetables.  A 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and it was finished.
