Introduction
I love gnocchi. Itโs delicious and surprisingly filling, so you donโt need very big portions. Add in some tomatoes and spinach, and you have a well-balanced and nutritious meal. The pesto is a great accompaniment to the sausage and this entire meal shouldnโt take more than an hour.
Total Time: 45 โ 60 minutes (including the Pesto)
Ingredients
3 lbs. gnocchi
ยพ lb. ground sausage
10 oz. fresh spinach
10 oz. grape tomatoes, halved
1 Pesto recipe
Instructions
โข Make the Pesto sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
โข Start to boil a large pot of water for the gnocchi.
โข In a separate large pot or wok, start to brown the sausage over medium heat (you shouldnโt need any oil), breaking it up into small pieces with the spatula as it cooks.
โข When the sausage is brown, lower the heat to low-med and add in the tomatoes and spinach. Continue to cook, stirring/flipping regularly, until the spinach has wilted down.
โข When the water for the gnocchi is boiling, add the gnocchi. Gnocchi really just needs to be warmed up, so they cook a lot faster than regular pasta. This should only take a few minutes.
โข When the gnocchi is soft and warm, drain into a colander and then transfer into the pot/wok with the spinach and tomatoes.
โข Add the pesto sauce and stir everything well. Continue to cook for just another 2 โ 3 minutes to let everything come together, stirring regularly.
