30-Minute, One-Pan Gnocchi with Sausage
Description
The 30-Minute, One-Pan Gnocchi with Sausage starts by sautéing onions and garlic in olive oil until fragrant, then browning bulk Italian sausage until cooked through. Uncooked potato gnocchi are added and lightly broken up before incorporating diced Italian-flavored tomatoes and chicken broth. Covered and simmered until the gnocchi become tender and fluffy, the dish then receives fresh spinach and black pepper, wilted gently in the residual heat. A mix of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese tops the skillet before covering again to melt the cheeses, creating a creamy texture that envelops the dish. Served immediately, this recipe offers an efficient preparation with layered savory and cheesy flavors.
Sliced French or Italian bread pairs well to soak up the sauce. The recipe allows variations like omitting sausage for a vegetarian version or substituting vegetable broth for chicken broth to accommodate dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 2 TB olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 lb Italian sausage bulk, no casings
- 1 potato gnocchi 16 oz package, refrigerated or pasta aisle
- 1 diced tomatoes Italian flavored, with juices, do not drain
- ¼ cup chicken broth low sodium
- 4 cups spinach fresh baby leaves
- ¼ tsp black pepper freshly ground
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly shredded
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, add oil and heat over medium high until hot. Add onion and garlic and stir/cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add sausage; stir and break it up into pieces, until nicely browned. Don't drain. Add uncooked gnocchi. Stir 1 min, gently breaking up any clumps.
- Stir in tomatoes with juices and chicken broth. Cover and cook on medium heat, 5 min, or just until gnocchi is fluffy and cooked through. Turn off heat.
- Add spinach and pepper. Stir until spinach leaves are wilted. Sprinkle with cheeses and cover for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melty. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Sliced French or Italian bread is excellent for soaking up leftover sauce.
- To make this dish meatless, skip the sausage and add an extra vegetable instead.
- Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian-friendly option.
