This creamy Tuscan sausage gnocchi is the ultimate comfort food! Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, cream, and fresh basil make the most amazing sauce.
My significant other loooved this formula, and he doesn’t care for rich sauces. I had steak gotten ready for supper on the day I made this formula, and I was unable to quit sneaking nibbles of this in spite of the genuine danger of destroying my supper. 😛This formula was motivated by my Tuscan hotdog pasta, which has been a success – particularly with my Instagram crowd.
To make this formula, I utilize the rack stable gnocchi found in the dry pasta passageway. I’ve had perusers test comparable plans with new custom made gnocchi, and the one dish strategy doesn’t appear to function also, so I would stay with the dry stuff. I utilized portion of a 5-pack of Johnsonville gentle Italian frankfurters. Go ahead and utilize hot Italian wieners if that is your thing! Gracious, and on the off chance that you feel so slanted, supplant the chicken stock with white wine… it’ll taste astonishing.
I list basil as discretionary on the grounds that the sauce is delightful enough without it, however as I would see it, new basil is one of the genuine delights of life, so I use it at whatever point I can. I don’t have a green thumb by any means, yet I anticipate developing new basil in my plant pots each year. Simply utilize a little small bunch in this formula and it’s raised to another component of OMGthisisgood. These one-dish gnocchi plans are simply so acceptable and simple to make that there’s certain to be one that suits everybody’s preferences. I’ve had a ton of cheerful perusers utilize this gnocchi cooking technique, so I’m constantly urged to keep the plans coming.
It’s very rich and filling, so I suggest a serving of mixed greens or steamed veggies on the side.This “Tuscan” sauce is quite well known on the web nowadays, thus I surely got on board with that temporary fad. The Olive Garden put it on the map, and in light of current circumstances. There’s a mystical thing about this flavor combo.
This creamy Tuscan sausage gnocchi is the ultimate comfort food! Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, cream, and fresh basil make the most amazing sauce.
INGREDIENTS
- 8.8 ounces Italian sausages crumbled
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 1.5 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil (optional) to taste
- Salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Take the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it into a deep skillet. Sauté the sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up as you go along, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth, cream, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, and gnocchi to the pan. Give it a good stir.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Give the gnocchi a stir and then add in the spinach. Cover the pan again for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
- Stir in the parmesan and basil (if using). Ensure the gnocchi is cooked through and the sauce is thickened to your liking (cook for another minute or two if necessary). Season with salt & pepper to taste and serve immediately.
NOTES
- There is no need to pre-cook the gnocchi. It cooks right in the sauce and the starch released from the potatoes will thicken the sauce.
- Anything around the 8.8 oz ballpark for the sausages will work. I bought a 5-pack of Johnsonville mild Italian sausages and used half of it. Feel free to just buy sausage meat if that’s easier.
- I used the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes that come in a jar. I drained the oil prior to adding them to the skillet.
