Creamy One-Pot Sausage Gnocchi

Ingredients

Bread crumbs:

2 tbsp. salted butter

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

 
Pasta:

1 lb. hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 tbsp. tomato paste

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tsp. dried oregano
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, plus more to taste

1/2 c. dry white wine
2 (12-oz.) packages refrigerated gnocchi
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 c chicken broth
4 oz. cream cheese, cubed

1 (5-oz.) bag baby spinach
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Bread crumbs:

In a large, 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped garlic clove and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper and toast, stirring frequently, until the panko is golden brown and crispy, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the mixture to a medium bowl and cool for 5 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup of parmesan and 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Pasta:
In the same skillet, cook the sausage and onion over medium heat until lightly browned and the sausage is crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, the remaining 2 cloves of garlic, oregano, remaining ¾ teaspoon of salt, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly reduced, 1 minute. Stir in the gnocchi, tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream cheese. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes undisturbed.

Uncover the pan and stir in the spinach. Cook until the sauce is thickened and the spinach is wilted. Stir in the remaining ½ cup of parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons of parsley. Taste for salt and pepper.

Serve the gnocchi hot with toasted breadcrumbs.
