Creamy Gnocchi With Sausage
Creamy gnocchi with sausage is a rich comfort food made with pillowy gnocchi and savory ground sausage tossed in a flavorful, creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- ¾ Pund Ground Sausage
- 1 Small Onion, chopped
- 3 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- ½ Cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, diced. Plus 1 Tbs of oil from the jar
- 2 Cups Fresh Baby Spinach, chopped
- ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 Pound Gnocchi, cooked according to the directions on the package.
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Tbs Garlic Powder
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add the ground sausage and brown it over medium high heat. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add the chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add the vegetable broth and heavy cream. I like to microwave the heavy cream for about 15 seconds so it’s not too cold and doesn’t break in the sauce.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a little oil from the jar.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper and garlic powder and stir everything together. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped spinach and stir it into the sauce until it’s wilted.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooked gnocchi and stir it into the sauce until it’s evenly coated.
- Turn the heat down to low and lid the skillet. Let the gnocchi absorb some of the sauce and thicken up for 3-5 minutes.
- Finally, serve with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
