This Creamy Gnocchi Pasta Recipe with Italian Sausage and spinach is the ultimate comfort meal with an effortless rich creamy Parmesan Sauce. It is one of our favorite meals and is made on the stovetop in one easy skillet in less than thirty minutes. It is a hearty meal by itself but for a complete company worthy meal I like to serve it with Cheese Garlic Bread and Italian Chopped Salad.

Drain any excess grease and carefully wipe out the skillet.

Melt butter and heat oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi and sundried tomatoes cooking until the gnocchi are lightly browned; stirring several times.
Step 3

Add the chicken broth and heavy cream simmering until slightly thickened; 5-6 minutes. Add the spinach and cook just until wilted. Reduce the heat and add the Parmesan cheese stirring gently until it melts.
