Ingredients
- 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links, halved and sliced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
Method
- Cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Editor's Tip: If you're using fresh or frozen gnocchi, keep a close eye on the timing, they cook quickly! When they float to the top of the boiling water, they are just about ready.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the sausage and shallots until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer.
- Stir in the wine or broth. Bring to a boil, and then cook until the liquid is reduced by half, three to four minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and broth until smooth, then stir into the sausage mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, one to two minutes.
- Add the spinach and cream; cook and stir until the spinach is wilted.
- Drain the gnocchi and add it to the pan, heating it through. To finish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.
