Ingredients
Scale
1 lb gnocchi
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 lb Italian sausage
4 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remember to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the sausage is cooked through, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach, stirring constantly until wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, followed by the pumpkin puree. Stir well to combine, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
While your sauce is simmering, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions in a separate pot of boiling salted water. Once they float to the top, they are done. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Drain the gnocchi and gently fold them into the pumpkin sauce, ensuring that they are well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
