Ingredients

8 ounces Italian sausage
½ white onion, diced
1 vodka marinara sauce
4 ounces tomato juice
cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup fresh spinach
17 ½ ounces potato gnocchi

Instructions

    1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the Italian sausage and diced onion until they are crumbly and golden, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the jar of vodka marinara sauce and adjust the consistency with tomato juice as needed. Fold in the shredded mozzarella and fresh spinach.
    2. In a separate large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, usually within 2 to 4 minutes. Drain the gnocchi.
    3. To assemble, transfer the drained gnocchi to a serving plate. Ladle the creamy vodka sauce over the gnocchi and serve immediately for a delightful dining experience.
