Creamy Gnocchi Skillet with Mushrooms, Kale, & Italian Sausage
This creamy gnocchi skillet is the perfect transition to fall! It’s cozy, full of flavor, and the best part is that it all comes together in one skillet. This dish will be perfect for cool autumn nights, and tastes just as good reheated throughout the week. You'll start by sautéing onions and mushrooms and then adding a flavorful mild Italian sausage. Once that’s cooked you’ll pour in the tomato sauce with vegetable broth and then let your potato gnocchi cook right in the liquid making it flavorful and fluffy. Finally, you’ll add some cream, parmesan cheese, and a handful of kale bringing all of the flavors of this dish together. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family did!
