• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup diced onion (120 grams)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound Italian sausage (you can use mild or hot and chicken, pork, or turkey)

1 pound potato gnocchi

1 1/2 cups pasta sauce

1/2 cup chicken broth

4 packed cups spinach, roughly chopped (120 grams)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, depending on spice preference)

salt and pepper, to taste

for topping - fresh basil, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes...

Directions

Brown your sausage. Heat a large enameled cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 tablespoon of oil, and let it get hot. Add onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, stir to combine, and saute for 1-2 minutes until onions are softened. Next, add your sausage and break it up. Saute for 6-7 minutes until browned. Stir in red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. If you have a lot of grease in the pan, drain it.

Cook your gnocchi. Add gnocchi, pasta sauce, and broth to your pan with your sausage. Mix well to combine. Make sure the gnocchi are pushed into the sauce and slightly covered. If needed, add a little more sauce. Bring to a low simmer and let simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring once halfway through to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Stir in spinach. Turn down the heat to low and stir in the spinach. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted and gnocchi are tender.

Enjoy! Top with toppings of choice and enjoy!
