Cooking Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large, high-sided skillet.
  • Add crumbled sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, crumbling it.
  • To the same skillet with sausage, add uncooked potato gnocchi, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with lid, and allow the gnocchi to cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, while the sauce boils.
  • Add tomato pasta sauce and stir it well. Add fresh spinach, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking. Cook longer if you would like a thicker sauce.
  • Mix everything well. Remove from heat.
  • Season with salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if you like.

Notes

Chicken broth is used in this recipe, but you can also use white wine, red wine, or water instead. Tomato sauce can be store-bought pasta sauce or marinara sauce. Crumbled spicy Italian sausage is used, but Italian sausage links can be used by removing casings. Heavy cream or half-and-half can be used.
