Ingredients
- 1 pound gnocchi fresh or frozen is fine
- 4 sausage links sweet is best
- 10 ounces baby spinach
- 7 tablespoons salted butter see note
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon pre-chopped
- parmesan cheese for topping optional
Instructions
- Dice sausages into ½ inch pieces. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add sausage slices. Heat sausage until brown on both sides. (Be sure to cook through to 165°F if not pre-cooked.) Remove sausages set aside. Wipe out skillet.
- Fill a large pot ½ way with water and bring to a boil. Add Gnocchi and boil for 3 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and put Gnocchi and sausage back in large pot off the heat and set aside.
- In the medium skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
- Add wine to butter and garlic and let it simmer until reduced a little. About 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter at a time to the sauce and allow to melt completely. Stirring frequently.
- Add the wine/butter sauce and spinach to the large pot with the gnocchi and sausage. Place on low heat until the spinach is wilted and sauce is coating everything.
- Dish up and enjoy! Sprinkle with a generous helping of parmesan cheese if you wish.
Notes
Using salted butter adds just the right amount of salt for me, but feel free to use unsalted and control the saltiness to your taste.
