Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound spicy or mild Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups chicken broth add ½ cup more if needed
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a large pan over medium-high heat. Break it up as it cooks and, once it’s browned, add 1 tablespoon of garlic and 1cup of chopped onion.
- Stir and cook the sausage with the garlic and onion for a couple of minutes. As the onion releases its moisture, scrape up any browned sausage bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add 4 cups of chopped kale, stir, and cover the pan. Adjust the heat to medium to medium low and cook the kale for a few minutes or until it’s wilted. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the top of the veggies and sausage. Mix it in and then add 2 1/2 cups of broth and stir again. Bring the broth to a strong simmer.
- Add the gnocchi to the pan. It should be mostly covered by the broth. If it’s not, add more broth (up to 1/2 cup) extra so its covered.
- Adjust the heat to maintain a strong simmer and cook the gnocchi for 3 to 5 minutes or until it's tender. Take the pan off the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of cream.
Notes
I use Delallo gnocchi for this recipe which has a cooking time of three to five minutes. Depending on the brand you use, you may need to adjust the cooking time. The gnocchi are done when they are tender and soft - they shouldn't be firm in the middle, so cut into one to double check if you're not sure.
The leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. You can thin the sauce with a little extra broth or cream when you heat it.
