Ingredients

  • 2 9-ounce packages refrigerated gnocchi or one 17.5-ounce package shelf-stable gnocchi

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 5-ounce bag baby spinach

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • ¾ cup (3 ounces) grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

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.
