a one pot wonder...


Gnocchi-with-Sausage-Spinach


Easy as pie, that's what this delicious dish is and you can make it in no time.  One-Pan Gnocchi with Sausage and Spinach via Chew Out Loud was wonderful.  The only change I made was I added one 28oz can of diced tomatoes to make it a bit more saucy and I cooked the sausage and simmered it with the sauce for about 30 minutes well before dinner to richen the flavor. When we were ready to each, I proceed to add the rest of the ingredients and all was well with the world. I am so going to make it for our family as no one would think it is this easy to make.
