Recipe | Improvised Skinny Gnocchi Alfredo (One Pot Meal)

This is a gnocchi one pot meal I threw together inspired by a few different gnocchi recipes that I found online. I can’t really reference any one recipe, as I feel like I did make this my own (which is how every recipe comes about, am I right?).

If you like  a savory and filling, but quick weeknight dinner idea that involves minimal cooking, this recipe is for you.

1  package (1.1 lbs) gnocchi
5 Sicilian chicken sausages (from TJs)
8 oz Crimini mushrooms (quartered)
10 oz baby spinach
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup half & half
3-4 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic cube
1 small onion (chopped)
salt, pepper (to taste)
red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat the oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion and saute for 5 minutes.

Add the gnocchi and pan-fry until browned (no need to pre-cook). Take the sausage out of the casing and add to the pan, breaking it up as you cook it.

Add the quartered mushrooms and saute for 5-6 minutes (make sure to not overcook them, depending on size).

Add the vegetable broth and half & half and bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes. Then add the Parmesan and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes (optional).

Add the spinach, stir in and cook until wilted.

Enjoy!

  1. Ok, just yum! And double win b/c I think the kids would like this as well. I will have to make this soon.

    Thanks friend!

  3. I love one-pot meals! This sounds really yummy! If we ate creamy/cheesy sauces this would be right up our alley. But they give me a stomach ache unfortunately (I’m sensitive to dairy). Womp womp.

  4. This looks really good and I am sure it was delicious.I haven’t had gnocchi in forever and I think I need to re-intriduce to my meals.
