Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil

½ cup finely diced onion

2 large cloves garlic, finely diced

1 pound mild Italian pork sausage, casing removed

1 (16 ounce) package dry mini potato gnocchi

2 ½ cups no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon ground oregano

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

5 ounces baby spinach

1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese

½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat avocado oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sausage; stir to break up the meat and cook until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Drain excess oil and keep meat mixture in the skillet. Add gnocchi, stirring to break up any clumps. Stir in tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in spinach and nutmeg and simmer until spinach has wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top, cover, and simmer until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
