    Add oil to the same pot and stir in shallot and garlic and cook until the shallot begins to soften.
  • Step 3
    Add water, broth, tomatoes (and their juice), and tomato paste; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add sliced links, gnocchi and spinach and cook until the gnocchi float to the top, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Stir in cream and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Step 6
    Ladle into 4 bowls and top each with 1/8 cup grated Parmesan. Serve -
