Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought gnocchi or use this recipe to make by hand
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small cubes

- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, grated, divided

Directions
- If using store-bought gnocchi, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook according to packaging directions. If using homemade, cook until gnocchi float, then remove with a slotted spoon. Set aside.

- Add minced garlic during the last 2 minutes and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Season with salt and pepper and rosemary, and add chicken.
- Cook until chicken is lightly browned and coated in cooking juices.
- Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, and stir together, then pour in heavy cream.
- Reduce stovetop heat to medium-low and stir in parmesan cheese. Sprinkle in nutmeg and let simmer for several minutes, or until thickened.
- Add gnocchi and spinach to the mixture and cook until warmed through and coated in sauce.
- Remove rosemary sprigs and serve immediately, garnished with more cheese.
