Gnocchi with Spinach and Chicken Sausage

1. Cook the Gnocchi:

• Prepare gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Sausage and Shallots:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and chopped shallots, cooking until the sausage is browned and the shallots are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

3. Make the Sauce:

• Stir in the white wine (or chicken broth) and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the chicken broth until smooth. Stir this mixture into the sausage and shallots. Return to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Combine and Serve:

• Add the fresh spinach and heavy cream to the skillet, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.
• Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese before serving.
