Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add your Italian beef sausage. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it’s browned and crumbly.
  2. Once the sausage is browned, stir in the minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes along with their juices, and add chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, add the gnocchi and cook for 3–4 minutes until they float to the top.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring well and allowing to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, stir in fresh spinach or basil just before serving.
