Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 package chicken sausage sliced
• 1 bag spinach
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Aglio Olio seasoning or Italian seasoning
• 0 salt
• 0 black pepper
• 1 pack frozen cauliflower gnocchi Trader Joe’s
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups canned coconut milk
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour
• 1 tbsp Aglio Olio seasoning or Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese extra for topping

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausage and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping to crisp both sides. Add spinach, garlic powder, and seasonings during the last few minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Once sausage is done, cook gnocchi in the same pan following package instructions, using a bit more oil if needed. Set gnocchi aside with the sausage and spinach.
3. In the same pan, add coconut milk, Parmesan, cornstarch, and seasoning. Whisk to combine and bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
4. Once the sauce has thickened, return the sausage, spinach, and gnocchi to the pan. Stir to coat everything in the sauce, top with extra Parmesan, and serve.
