Ingredients
- 3/4 lb ground sweet Italian sausage
- 1 shallot chopped
- 3 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 15 oz can Italian-style diced or petite diced tomatoes see notes
- 1 cup half & half

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup chicken broth optional
Instructions
- Heat a large, 12” skillet over medium-high heat then add Italian sausage and shallots and brown. Add garlic and Italian seasoning then saute for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is very fragrant. Add canned tomatoes, half & half, and gluten free gnocchi then bring mixture to a simmer.
- Turn heat down to medium then continue simmering until gnocchi are nearly tender, 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add baby spinach then stir to combine and continue cooking until spinach is wilted and gnocchi are tender, 1-2 minutes, adding splashes of chicken broth if necessary if sauce gets too thick.
- Remove skillet from heat then sprinkle in mozzarella cheese and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Look for diced tomatoes that are flavored with basil, garlic, and oregano, ie "Italian Style".
- Regular, non-gluten free gnocchi are usually sold in 16oz packages. If you don't need to eat gluten free and are using regular gnocchi, you may need to add more half & half and/or chicken broth to the dish.
