Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large, high-sided skillet.

Add crumbled sausage and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, crumbling it.

To the same skillet with sausage, add uncooked potato gnocchi, chicken broth, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with lid, and allow the gnocchi to cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat, while the sauce boils.

Add tomato pasta sauce and stir it well. Add fresh spinach, and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes until the spinach wilts to your liking. Cook longer if you would like a thicker sauce.

Mix everything well. Remove from heat.

Season with salt, freshly ground coarse black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if you like.

Tip: 

use your best judgment about the salt. If the sausage is salty enough, you might not need to add any extra salt.

1. Use high-quality sausage: Choose a flavorful sausage, such as Italian sausage or Chorizo, for the best flavor.
2. Don’t overcook the gnocchi: Cook the gnocchi until they’re tender but still slightly firm.
3. Use a mixture of cheeses: Combine Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheese for a creamy and rich sauce.
4. Add some spice: Red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños can add a nice kick to the dish.
5. Use fresh parsley: Chopped fresh parsley adds a bright and fresh flavor to the dish.
