Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed, sweet
- 1 /4-inch thick slice (3 ounces) pancetta diced
- 1 medium (5 ozs) yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 4 cups vegetable broth plus more if needed
- 3 ounces baby spinach
- 1 pound gnocchi
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to serve, freshly grated
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Cook the sausage, breaking apart the clumps, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage crumbles with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the pancetta and cook until chewy-crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the dice to a second paper towel-lined plate.
- Dump in the onion and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more.
- Crank the heat to medium-high and splash in the wine. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon and let the wine bubble until nearly evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the broth and add the sausage. Let the soup come to a simmer, then stir in the gnocchi and spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the gnocchi are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove from the heat and divvy the soup among bowls. Top with pancetta and a sprinkling of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use caution when adding salt--There are lots of salty elements in this soup, so be sure to taste a couple of spoonfuls before seasoning with additional salt at the end.
- Storage--Store leftover soup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating--Reheat leftover soup in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If the soup is too thick, pour in a little broth or water to thin it.
