Get dinner on the table in under 30 minutes with this super easy meal that looks like (and tastes like!) it came straight from your favorite Italian restaurant!
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) Package Gnocchi
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 Onion, diced
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 Links Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage, casing removed
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/4 Cup White Wine
- 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 2 Cups Fresh Spinach
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Heat salted water in a large pot to boiling.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil, and sauté the onion until it softens, Add the garlic and sauté for another minute or so, until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the sausage and brown, crumbling it until the chunks are no bigger than the size of the gnocchi.
- Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to get up any brown bits. Allow the wine to reduce, cooking it down until there is very little liquid left in the pan. Add the chicken broth.
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling, salted water, and just until it floats to the surface of the water (follow package instructions). Immediately transfer to the skillet with the sausage using a slotted spoon. Stir to combine. Add a little pasta water to the skillet (approx 1/4 cup).
- Add the spinach to the skillet. Stir to combine everything cook until the spinach wilts.
- Remove from the heat and top with grated parm. Taste for seasoning. Try not to "test" it all before you get it to the table.
Notes
*Feel free to substitute kale or baby kale for the spinach!
