Isn’t this dish very similar to Tuscan style dishes?
Yes, it is. Tuscan dishes use simple ingredients that are not covered in any heavy sauces.
So even though this dish is creamy, it does not use cream or butter and is rather light.
Also you can take this dish from mild to hot simply by choosing a hotter sausage.
We are simply substituting that heavy cream for a more healthy olive oil and chicken stock.
So hold onto your hats for this one ladies and gents, because this dish is far more healthier than most of those Tuscan recipes out there.
Can I replace the Sausage for Chicken?
YES, you can use a chicken breast in replace of the sausage.
To make this dish all you will need is one large cooking pot/pan.
Start by cooking the gnocchi by boiling it in the pot/pan.
Once that is done you can prepare the remaining ingredients.
From there everything will come together in the same pot/pan in under 15 minutes!
This recipe can be served as a romantic dinner for two or double the recipe and then you can serve a family of four or more.
Delizioso!

The recipe called for spinach, but the instructions didn’t say when to add the spinach.
Also in step 1 “Once cooked, starin and set aside.” I’m not familiar with the term “starin”
