Equipment

  • large stockpot

Ingredients

  • 1 box potato gnocchi
  • 12 ounces baby spinach
  • 1/2 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon butter divided
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 small white onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 3 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Start by melting half of the butter in a large stockpot, adding the onions, and cook until softened. Add garlic now—not before it will brown too fast and get bitter.

  • Add the sausage and cook until browned. Once the sausage is cooked, drain but leave a small amount of oil. Add the spinach into the pot.

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • I like to use water and chicken bouillon in place of chicken stock but you can substitute for 4 cups of chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Make it spicy by using hot Italian sausage in this recipe.
  • To store: add to a covered container and eat within 3 days. Heat in the microwave or on the stovetop in a stockpot.
