Add the garlic and cook just a minute or so more, until fragrant. Then add the tomatoes, gnocchi, cream, broth and seasonings and give it all a good stir..
2. Let it come up to a simmer, then let it simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and the liquid has absorbed and thickened a bit. Remove it from the heat and immediately stir in the spinach, then the mozzarella cheese. Once the spinach has wilted, you are ready to serve..
