Ingredients for Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage<\/h2>\n\n- Potato gnocchi: <\/strong><\/strong>These soft, pillowy dumplings are made from potatoes and flour\u2014and yes, you can prep homemade potato gnocchi<\/a> if you’re feeling ambitious. To keep things simple, we’re using shelf-stable gnocchi, which can be found in the pasta aisle, although frozen or fresh work too. If you don’t have gnocchi, try a short pasta shape<\/a> like penne, rotini or farfalle.<\/li>\n
- Olive oil:<\/strong> This quick saute starter gets everything going and keeps things golden but not greasy. Use whatever olive oil brand<\/a> you have on hand.<\/li>\n
- Italian chicken sausage:<\/strong> Italian chicken sausage is leaner than regular sausage and keeps the meal hearty without the heaviness. Slice the links into bite-sized pieces so each mouthful gets that burst of savory goodness.<\/li>\n
- Shallots:<\/strong> These mild, sweet alliums are like onions with better manners. They saute quickly and add a more refined flavor without the sharp bite. Shallots<\/a> are perfect for delicate sauces like this one, where you want depth, not dominance.<\/li>\n
- Garlic:<\/strong> Nothing elevates a skillet dish like freshly minced garlic<\/a>. It adds aroma, zing and a savory backbone\u2014just be sure not to burn it (it doesn’t take much!).<\/li>\n
- White wine or chicken broth:<\/strong> This serves as your deglazing liquid, lifting the flavorful browned bits off the pan and forming the base of your sauce. White wine adds a slightly acidic brightness and complexity, but reduced-sodium chicken broth<\/a> is an excellent replacement if your wine supply is running low.<\/li>\n
- Cornstarch:<\/strong> Cornstarch is one of our go-to ingredients for thickening sauces<\/a>. It creates a luscious, velvety consistency. Whisk it into cold liquid to avoid clumping, then stir it into the skillet for a fast, foolproof finish.<\/li>\n
- Reduced-sodium chicken broth:<\/strong> Broth is used in this recipe as a mixer for the cornstarch. It also boosts the overall volume of the sauce and mellows the richness from the cream without watering down the flavor.<\/li>\n
- Fresh baby spinach:<\/strong> This nutrient-packed green wilts beautifully into creamy sauces. It adds color, texture and a hit of freshness without overpowering the dish.<\/li>\n
- Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> This is the creamy dream of an ingredient that ties the whole dish together. It adds body and richness, turning your gnocchi into comfort food gold. If you’re looking to lighten things up, you could try half-and-half cream, but the sauce won’t be quite as thick.<\/li>\n
- Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> Parmesan is the salty, nutty and umami-packed finishing touch. If possible, shred the cheese yourself<\/a>\u2014as opposed to buying pre-shredded or grated cheese\u2014since bags of cheese can contain anticaking agents that cause the cheese to not melt as smoothly. Sprinkle the Parm on top for that final savory flourish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Cook the gnocchi<\/h3>\n
Cook the gnocchi according to package directions.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you’re using fresh or frozen gnocchi, keep a close eye on the timing\u2014they cook quickly! When they float to the top of the boiling water, they are just about ready.<\/p>\nStep 2: Saute the sausage and shallots<\/h3>\n
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the sausage and shallots until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Deglaze with wine<\/h3>\n
Stir in the wine or broth. Bring to a boil, and then cook until the liquid is reduced by half, three to four minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Thicken the sauce<\/h3>\n
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and broth until smooth, then stir into the sausage mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Add the spinach and cream<\/h3>\n
Add the spinach and cream; cook and stir until the spinach is wilted.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Combine and serve<\/h3>\n
Drain the gnocchi and add it to the pan, heating it through. To finish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.<\/p>\n

JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nGnocchi with Chicken Sausage Variations<\/h2>\n\n- Swap in different sausage:<\/strong> Chicken sausage comes in a variety of flavors. Go spicy, fruity or cheesy for a fun twist.<\/li>\n
- Add more veggies:<\/strong> For extra color and flavor, add halved cherry tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms or even peas.<\/li>\n
- Try it dairy-free:<\/strong> Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and skip the cheese for a lighter take on this one-skillet meal<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Very tasty and easy to make. I made as written except I used turkey smoked sausage (fully cooked-links) instead. I read the comment about removing the sausage once browned, but I would NOT do that. Cooking it with the shallots while the wine reduced made a delicious, flavorful base. Only thing I might do differently next time is a little less spinach.

I don\u2019t like making bad reviews, but when your having company over for dinner and the recipe your using turns out not to your expectations you have to go in high gear to try and make it taste right. I was really excited to make this for dinner, but something was just missing after tasting the sauce. I had to use Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, salt & pepper to bring up the taste of dull sauce. The sauce came together, but it had no literally no taste. I had to double the sauce it was not enough to serve. I only used one full shallot in recipe. After putting the seasonings in the sauce it tasted so much better. I served the gnocchi and sauce separate as pasta usually sucks up the sauce. I used another review and took the sausage out of pan to make the sauce.

Directions<\/h2>\nStep 1: Cook the gnocchi<\/h3>\n
Cook the gnocchi according to package directions.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you’re using fresh or frozen gnocchi, keep a close eye on the timing\u2014they cook quickly! When they float to the top of the boiling water, they are just about ready.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the sausage and shallots until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer.<\/p>\n Stir in the wine or broth. Bring to a boil, and then cook until the liquid is reduced by half, three to four minutes.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and broth until smooth, then stir into the sausage mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n Add the spinach and cream; cook and stir until the spinach is wilted.<\/p>\n Drain the gnocchi and add it to the pan, heating it through. To finish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if desired.<\/p>\n Leftovers? Lucky you! Store the cooled gnocchi with spinach and chicken sausage in an airtight container in the fridge. The sauce may thicken as it sits, but a splash of broth or milk will bring it back to life when reheating.<\/p>\n It keeps well in the fridge for up to four days. It’s perfect for lunch leftovers!<\/p>\n Yes, but the texture of gnocchi can get a little soft after thawing. If freezing, let it thaw completely first and reheat it gently, as opposed to throwing it into the pan or microwave dish while it’s still partially frozen.<\/p>\n Reheat this dish on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of broth or cream. The microwave works too, just stir it halfway through to keep it creamy.<\/p>\n Sure! But before adding the shallots, cook it fully. Remove the casings, crumble it in the pan, and cook it until browned and cooked through.<\/p>\n This combo is ultra-versatile. Use it in soups, sheet-pan meals or bake it under a layer of mozzarella for a bubbly casserole vibe.<\/p>\n Make it an Italian feast: Dress a garden-fresh salad with balsamic vinaigrette<\/a> as the side, serve a focaccia barese<\/a> to start, and finish the meal with a decadent affogato<\/a>, featuring only the richest vanilla gelato.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This

It didn't quite stretch enough for four adults so I'll probably add another half package of gnocchi. I'll also remove the sausage after the first saute and add it back in after the sauce has come together, when I add the spinach.

I was really excited to make this for dinner, but something was just missing after tasting the sauce. I had to use Italian seasoning, basil, garlic powder, salt & pepper to bring up the taste of dull sauce. The sauce came together, but it had no literally no taste. I had to double the sauce it was not enough to serve. I only used one full shallot in recipe. After putting the seasonings in the sauce it tasted so much better. I served the gnocchi and sauce separate as pasta usually sucks up the sauce. I used another review and took the sausage out of pan to make the sauce.

Would definitely make again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"title":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage","description":"Check out this video for how to make Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage.","url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/aWLzrwGj-IFfy1PC6.mp4","duration":"1m6s","mime_type":"video\/mp4","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dam-cdn.tmb.orangelogic.com\/AssetLink\/at70a2u2flud85o627ab38s35k3457p5.jpg","advertising":"","jw_id":"aWLzrwGj","jw_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/aWLzrwGj-IFfy1PC6.mp4","jw_thmub_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/v2\/media\/aWLzrwGj\/poster.jpg?width=720","jw_publish_date":"2023-06-01T00:00:00"},"rms_legacy_id":"126406","romance_copy_dek":"This creamy and comforting gnocchi with chicken sausage is a flavorful one-skillet dinner you'll crave on repeat.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi","IngredientText":"1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 tablespoons olive oil","IngredientText":"2 tablespoons olive oil"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links, halved and sliced","IngredientText":"1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked Italian chicken sausage links, halved and sliced"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 shallots, finely chopped","IngredientText":"2 shallots, finely chopped"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 garlic cloves, minced","IngredientText":"2 garlic cloves, minced"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup white wine or chicken broth","IngredientText":"1 cup white wine or chicken broth"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 tablespoon cornstarch","IngredientText":"1 tablespoon cornstarch"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3 cups fresh baby spinach","IngredientText":"3 cups fresh baby spinach"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 cup heavy whipping cream","IngredientText":"1\/2 cup heavy whipping cream"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese","IngredientText":"1\/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":" Crushed red pepper flakes, optional","IngredientText":" Crushed red pepper flakes, optional"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Gnocchi-with-Spinach-and-Chicken-Sausage_EXPS_FT25_126406_JR_0422_1.jpg","RecipeId":126406,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage Recipe photo by Taste Recipes","VideoCode":"[dam-video dam-id=\"50954\" ol-id=\"T0734CH\"]","RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Gnocchi-with-Spinach-and-Chicken-Sausage_EXPS_FT25_126406_JR_0422_1.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Laura","Lastname":"Miller","City":"Lake Ann","StateDescription":"Michigan","IsCommunityCook":false,"TimeCallout":"Prep\/Total Time: 25 min.","MinimumServingQuantity":4,"MaximumServingQuantity":4,"Yield":"4 servings.","DigitalTitle":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage","SubmittedTitle":"Gnocchi with Spinach & Chicken Sausage","RecipeTypeId":1,"AverageRating":4.57,"WebPublishedDate":"8\/31\/2018 10:31:00 AM","ContestPlacementId":null,"FbImage":"FB_SDON18_126406_B06_15_7b.jpg","PreparationTimeInMinutes":10,"CookTimeInMinutes":15,"TotalTimeInMinutes":25,"ServingDescription":null,"IsTestKitchenCertified":true,"IsContestWinner":false,"IsCommunityRecipe":false,"PublishedProjectTitle":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage","OriginalSourceProject":"Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage","ContestPlacement":"","Trailer":"Step 2: Saute the sausage and shallots<\/h3>\n
