One skillet, sausage, white beans and gnocchi
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 package (13 ounces) Al Fresco Chicken or Turkey Sausage
1/4 cup water or chicken broth
1 can (14.5 ounces) Italian diced tomatoes (use fresh tomatoes
instead)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika optional
Seasoned salt and pepper
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans
1 package (16 ounces) gnocchi
1 and 1/2 cups fresh spinach ~4-5 ounces
1/2 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: fresh parsley
Instructions
Move a rack in your oven to the upper third of the oven and then
preheat to 425 degrees F.
Put a large oven-safe skillet (I use a 12 inch lodge dutch oven
skillet), on the stove at medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil.
Add in the chopped onion and stir until the onion is transparent
-- about 4 minutes. Add in the garlic and stir for another 30
seconds.
Coin the turkey sausage and add to the skillet. Cook over high
heat until lightly browned or about 3-4 minutes.
Add in the water or broth, undrained Italian diced tomatoes,
oregano, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, seasoned salt and pepper,
THOROUGHLY rinsed, drained, and dried cannellini beans, and uncooked
gnocchi. Stir until everything is well combined. Gently stir in the
spinach and make sure it\'s covered with liquid.
Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and place in the oven.
Bake for 17-22 minutes. If desired, turn on the broiler and then
broil for another 2-3 minutes for a delicious crispy top.
Remove from the heat, top with additional salt, pepper, and some
chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately.
