Easy Mediterranean Potato Gnocchi with Spicy Italian Sausage, Sun-dried Tomato, Kalamata Olives, Spinach and Pine Nuts

Such a flavorful explosion of salty, sour, creamy and savory all wrapped up into one satisfying package. I dare you to stop at just one serving. Dairy-free and can easily be made vegetarian/vegan if you leave out the sausage and cheese. Either way it’s a hearty and satisfying gnocchi meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound egg-free potato gnocchi 
  • 2 spicy Italian sausage links (removed from casing and cooked)
  • 1/4 c sun-dried tomatoes in oil (drained and julienned)
  • 1/4 c Kalamata olives (pit removed and sliced in half)
  • 1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
  • 23 c spinach
  • 3/4 c vegetable stock
  • 13 oz full fat coconut milk
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 3/4 c white onion, diced small
  • 2 oz pine nuts (toasted)
  • 1/4 c parmesan
  • 3T basil, chopped
  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Brown Sausage and set aside.
  2.  Toast pine nuts on low heat until slightly brown and starting to sweat. Remove and set aside.
  3. In a large frying pan, sauté onion in olive oil for 3-5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and combined.
  4. Add broth to pan and scrape up any brown bits.
  5. Add coconut milk, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, cooked sausage and bring to a light simmer for about 10 minutes on medium high heat until all heated through and starting to thicken.
