Cookware
can opener · chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · stirring spoon
Directions
- Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add a thin layer of oil to coat the bottom.
- Dice the onion and mince the garlic; add both to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about 3–4 minutes.
- Separate the sausage meat from the casings, add to the pan, and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5–7 minutes.
- Coarsely grate the mozzarella and finely grate the Parmesan.
- Stir in the gnocchi, the can of diced tomatoes with their juices, a splash of water, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Cover and simmer until the gnocchi is tender, about 3–5 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the pan and cook, stirring, until wilted and everything is well mixed, 1–2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cheeses over the gnocchi and cover the pan; let sit off the heat until the cheese melts, about 3–5 minutes.
- Divide the gnocchi among bowls and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the onion and garlic ahead of time to speed up weeknight cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently with a splash of water or oil to loosen the sauce.
