Servings: 4
Calories: 465kcal
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground meat of choice (ground Italian chicken or pork sausage, ground turkey, or ground beef all work well)
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1, 28 ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, blended
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 3 cups baby spinach
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste (will vary depending on type of meat used)
- Optional for garnish: fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your meat of choice and onion, breaking the meat apart with a spatula as it cooks. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked through.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Stir in the blended San Marzano tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the gnocchi and stir to combine. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the gnocchi is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cream and parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Save time/prep ahead:
- This is already a quick one pot dinner, so there isn't much prep required ahead of time. You can save a few minutes by dicing the onion and measuring out the seasonings earlier in the day.
- If you're using homemade gnocchi, you can also prepare it ahead of time, although refrigerated or shelf-stable gnocchi makes this recipe especially convenient for a busy weeknight.
- For an even faster meal, keep a package of shelf-stable gnocchi and your favorite ground meat on hand so you can make this with ingredients you already have in the kitchen.
- Keep in mind that the amount of salt you'll need will vary depending on the meat you use. Italian sausage is typically already well seasoned, while ground turkey or beef may need additional salt.
- Most gnocchi is not gluten-free, so find a specific gluten-free gnocchi if needed. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free alternatives to the cream and parmesan cheese.
