Ingredients
- 10.6 ounces Italian sausage see note
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 cup chicken broth or 50/50 chicken broth and dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- 1 pound potato gnocchi uncooked
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese + extra for serving, freshly grated
- 2 cups baby spinach packed, fresh
- 1 tablespoon basil or to taste, chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fry the sausage meat in a large, deep skillet (I use a 12" one) until browned over medium-high heat, breaking it up as you go along (about 7-8 minutes). When it's done, transfer it to a paper towel lined plate. If there's a lot of excess fat in the pan, drain it.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, then add in the mushrooms and onions. Cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms release water and it's been cooked off.
- Stir in the garlic, Dijon mustard, and oregano, and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the chicken broth and cream. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the cooked sausage back to the pan.
- Stir in the gnocchi and continue cooking (uncovered) for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce has thickened and the gnocchi are cooked through. You may need to lower the heat if it's bubbling too much.
- Stir in the parmesan, spinach, and basil, then take the pan off the heat. Let the spinach wilt for a minute or two. Season with salt & pepper as needed and enjoy with extra parmesan grated over top if desired.
Notes
- I used 3 sausages out of a 5-pack of Italian sausages (use mild or hot depending on what you prefer). Feel free to use anything in that ballpark weight-wise. You can either buy bulk ground sausage meat or, if using whole sausages, take the meat out of the casings.
- The gnocchi will release starch as they cook, thickening the sauce.
- Troubleshooting tip: if the sauce reduces too much/gets too thick before the gnocchi is cooked, simply add in another splash of chicken broth, wine, and/or cream.
