Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb spicy ground Italian sausage
- 1 lb gnocchi uncooked
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- 1/2 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly grated black pepper
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and well-drained
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 1.5 cups pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Start by cooking up the ground Italian sausage in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-low heat. As the sausage cooks, add diced onion and garlic and saute until the sausage is cooked through.
- Add in the seasonings and sprinkle over the flour, tossing everything to combine. Pour in the chicken stock and cream, bringing to a low boil. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference. Allow the pan sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in half the parmesan and pepper jack to incorporate into the sauce.
- Stir in the spinach and uncooked gnocchi. Top with remaining cheeses and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the top starts to get slightly toasted.
