Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook and crumble to break it apart. Stir occasionally until cooked through, 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring continuously. Add the heavy cream in the same manner. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the sausage back along with the gnocchi and simmer for about 5 minutes, refer to package instructions for exact cooking time.

Step 8

Reduce heat to low and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve!
