Ingredients

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 1 lb Ground Italian Sausage
  • ½ Yellow Onion (diced)
  • 3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 Lemon (juiced)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley (finely chopped)
  • 3 cups Fresh Spinach
  • Olive Oil (for the pan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the gnocchi
  2. Sauté the diced onions in an oiled pan over medium heat until translucent. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned and broken apart. Add the garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the sun dried tomato, broth, heavy cream, parmesan, and parsley. Stir until smooth and all of the cheese melts. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the spinach.
