Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 3 (3 oz.) cooked chicken sausages, cut into 1/2-in. slices
- 1 lb. frozen, refrigerated, or shelf-stable gnocchi (no need to thaw frozen)
- 1 (15.5 oz.) can cannellini beans or other white beans, drained
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
- 2/3 cup chicken broth or white wine
- 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp. pepper, plus more to taste
- 4 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, or Italian cheese blend
Instructions
- In a very large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, stirring occasionally, until they’re brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Once it’s hot, add the gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is browned, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sausage, beans, tomatoes (with their juices), broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and more salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the cheese. Cover and let stand until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
