Spring in Ireland means fresh greens coming back into the kitchen. Spinach-based gnocchi is a real Northern Italian technique, but when folded into an Irish-inspired St. Patrick’s menu, the natural emerald tone feels right at home. These gnocchi are soft, pillowy, and vibrant green from fresh spinach purée — no artificial coloring. The infusion lives entirely in a measured sage butter drizzle so dosing remains precise and realistic.
