Ingredients

1 pound ground mild Italian sausage
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes undrained
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 package (16 ounce) gnocchi
3 cups fresh spinach
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Instructions

In a large skillet, add Italian sausage, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain grease, wipe skillet if needed, and return sausage to pan.
Add diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and gnocchi to skillet. Cook over medium heat until gnocchi is heated through, about 4-5 minutes. Add spinach and stir to combine and heat until it starts to wilt.
Remove skillet from heat, add ½ cup of shredded cheese, and stir until melted. Top gnocchi with remaining ½ cup cheese and let sit for 1-2 minutes, or until melted. Serve immediately.

Notes

Gnocchi will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
