Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 7 ounces smoked sausage , sliced into 1/4" rounds
- 1 small red onion , diced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes with their juices
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- red wine (optional)
- 12 ounces uncooked gnocchi*
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup chopped or slivered fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigianno reggiano or other aged cheese
- 2 green onions , sliced thinly
Instructions
- In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium until the surface shimmers.
- Add the sausage and onions, and cook for 5 minutes, until onions are softened and the sausage coins have golden edges.
- Pour in the tomatoes with their juices, and sprinkle the Italian seasoning blend and garlic on top. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the flour over the tomato mixture, stir, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring several times.
- If using wine, add a quick pour to the pan, and mix well, gently scraping up any vegetable or flour residue from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the gnocchi (see * note below).
- Pour the chicken broth over the top. The gnocchi won't be completely covered, but they will be mostly submerged. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, flipping the gnocchi as you go.
- When the gnocchi are nice and plump, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the spinach and grated cheese. The sauce should thicken to a stew-consistency. Top with green onions.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
* If you can only find a 16 ounce package of gnocchi, you might not want to use the entire package. Or, you can proportionally increase the amount of sausage and chicken broth to make a larger recipe. In the photos shown on the post, I used about 14 ounces.
