Instructions


0 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil along with some minced garlic.
1 While the skillet heats, slice your caramelized onion and white cheddar chicken sausages (smoked sausage works well too).
2 Once the oil is hot and the garlic is fragrant, add the sliced sausage to the skillet.
3 Stir in a 1 lb package of gnocchi.
4 Mix everything to ensure the gnocchi is well coated in the oil.
5 While that cooks, roughly chop 2 cups of fresh spinach.
6 Increase the heat to high for 2–3 minutes to get a nice sear on the sausage and gnocchi.
7 Reduce the heat to medium and add in the chopped spinach.
8 Stir everything together until well combined.
9 Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and heavy whipping cream.
10 Once the sauce is hot (after about 5 minutes), gradually add 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, stirring as you go.
11 Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
