One-Pan Italian Sausage and Gnocchi Skillet Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 0.5 cup finely diced onion
• 2 large cloves garlic, finely diced
• 1 pound mild Italian pork sausage, casing removed
• 1 (16 ounce) package dry mini potato gnocchi
• 2.5 cups no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 5 ounces baby spinach
• 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Add Italian sausage; stir to crumble the meat and cook until browned thoroughly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Remove any excess oil from the skillet, leaving the meat mixture. Add gnocchi, stirring to separate any clumps. Stir in diced tomatoes, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and black pepper. Cover the skillet and simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Stir in fresh spinach and a pinch of ground nutmeg. Simmer until the spinach wilts, around 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top. Cover and simmer until the cheese melts completely, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the sausage and gnocchi skillet immediately while hot.
