First, cook the gnocchi, then drain and fry in a pan until golden brown. Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan without oil, then add them to a bowl. Finely chop the garlic and lightly fry it in the same pan with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the crème fraîche, basil pesto, and water; mix well, then season/taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Be sparing with the salt, as the spicy cheese will be added later. Gradually add the baby spinach and the cheese. Let everything fall apart, stir in the gnocchi, and garnish with the pine nuts.
