Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 - 6 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 tbsp. salted butter; 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped and divided; 1/2 c. panko breadcrumbs; 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste; 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste; 3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese, divided, plus more to serve; 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley, divided; 1 lb. hot Italian sausage, casings removed; 1 medium yellow onion, chopped; 1 tbsp. tomato paste; 1 tsp. dried oregano; 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

Step 1In 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 1/4 cup of parmesan and 1 tablespoon of parsley.

Step 2In 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 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Step 3Add 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.

Step 4Uncover 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.

Step 5Serve the gnocchi sprinkled with the toasted breadcrumbs and more parmesan.
