Ingredients

Servings

• 1 package potato gnocchi (16 ounces)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 package fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links, halved and sliced (12 ounces)

• 2 shallots, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, 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

Step-by-step Process

1. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
2. While the gnocchi is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sausage and shallots until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Pour in the wine and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the liquid reduces by half, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth, then stir into the sausage mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Add the spinach and cream, cooking and stirring until the spinach is wilted.
6. Drain the cooked gnocchi and add it to the skillet, heating through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
