One Pot Gnocchi with Sausage and Kale
Gnocchi with Sausage and Kale is a creamy bowl of comfort inspired by Zuppa Toscana. It’s easy to make in one pot by combining gnocchi, chicken sausage, and kale with a luscious parmesan cream sauce.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb. mild italian chicken sausage casing removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 cup onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 32 oz. chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 lb. gnocchi
- 1 bunch kale chopped and stems removed
- 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
- Red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage, using a wooden spoon to break it up until it’s cooked through and no longer pink; remove with a slotted spoon.
- Next, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet, along with the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic, italian seasoning and salt and sauté for an additional minute.
- To that same skillet, sprinkle the flour overtop and whisk continuously for 1 minute until the flour is golden brown. Slowly pour in the broth and heavy cream while whisking at the same time to create a roux.
- Once the mixture is at a low boil, add in the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the kale and stir until it’s wilted, about 1 minute. Last, stir in the parmesan cheese and add the sausage back in.
- Top with red pepper flakes, add more cheese and enjoy!
