gnocchi with sausage and spinach



Ingredients


  • 9-ounce packages refrigerated gnocchi or one 17.5-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1  pound  Italian sausage, casings removed
  • clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 5-ounce bag baby spinach
  • 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 3/4  cup  (3 ounces) grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • (I added some left over peas and it was great)



Directions

  1. Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking liquid.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling it with a spoon, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic, spinach, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing frequently, until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the gnocchi, the reserved cooking liquid, and the Parmesan and toss. Divide among individual bowls and sprinkle with additional Parmesan.
