Sharing is caring!

Add some flavor to your weeknight dinner with this delicious Gnocchi with Sausage and Spinach dish. It’s easy, quick, and guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds!

 

Yeah, I know, right? How delicious does this look?? It truly was fantastic! And those smaller gnocchi truly were little pillows of potato goodness. Just sayin…  I love gnocchi and have made some Butternut Squash Gnocchi and pumpkin gnocchi.  They’re not difficult to make, but when I find them in the store I usually buy a few packages because gnocchi are so easy and delicious for dinner.

 

Trust me when I say you’re going to want to make this Gnocchi with Sausage and Spinach. I was lucky enough to be able to use the Hillshire Farm Smoky Bourbon Link Sausage for this recipe. WOW! If you haven’t hard these gems, seriously go buy them NOW! They are so tasty and delicious. They were a perfectly light flavor to compliment these gnocchi and the spinach. This recipe honestly wouldn’t be the same with any other sausage. Just saying…

 

 

So, this is what you’re looking for in the store; a package that looks like with the rest of your regular, old, smoked, link sausage. Trust me. Bypass those and buy these beauties. Or any other of this American Craft line from Hillshire Farm. You WILL NOT be disappointed. I wasn’t and I’ve had two flavors so far.

 

 

Just look at all that spicy goodness in those little slices of heaven!! Of course, I couldn’t resist sampling them before I put them into the pan. I mean, when you’re cooking it’s all about the tasting and making sure your ingredients and flavors are just what you’re looking for, right? Right? No?

 

Well, honestly, you’re not going to be able to keep your hands off these sausages. I think I noshed on four or five pieces before it was time to put them in the pan and brown them. Yes. They were that tasty prior to browning. They had this smoky bourbon flavor along with the delicious mixture of meat and spices in the links. I couldn’t wait to see how this dish was going to play out and how all the flavors were going to blend together. The delicious texture of the gnocchi played against the spices in the sausages which was enhanced by the earthy tones of the spinach and the smoky flavor of the bourbon. I couldn’t have planned this meal out any better.

 

 

The sauce for this dish is simple. It’s a little bit of the pasta water as it was cooking, some cream and some cheese. That’s it. It honesty is that simple. When ingredients are this tasty, you don’t need a lot to make an amazing meal.
