How do you make creamy one-pot sausage gnocchi?

This recipe starts as many creamy pasta recipes (like this ) should: with garlic butter breadcrumbs. After the breadcrumbs are golden and tossed with parmesan and parsley, the real work begins.

Saute onion and sausage until browned and crumbly. After stirring in some aromatic garlic and dried oregano, the pot is deglazed with white wine. The super easy sauce is made with canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream cheese. The gnocchi is added at the same time, releasing the perfect amount of starch to make a thick, beautiful sauce that effortlessly coats every ingredient. Finally, sneak some nutritious spinach in there with more grated parmesan and chopped parsley, and dinner is served!

What kind of gnocchi goes into creamy one-pot sausage gnocchi?

Because everything is tossed together in one skillet, this recipe uses super convenient and tender refrigerated gnocchi.

Store-bought gnocchi is more popular than ever; it can be found nestled next to your favorite dried pasta or chilling with some french fries in the freezer section. Stick with the refrigerated type for this recipe. Since the potato-based gnocchi is not boiled prior to being added to the skillet, it should not run the risk of falling apart when it gets stirred up. While delicious, cauliflower and squash-based gnocchi will be too fragile for this dish.
