Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Potato Gnocchi 24327

Meatballs:

  • 1 Clove Garlic grated
  • ½ Cup Breadcrumbs
  • ¼ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes chopped
  • 1.5 TSP Salt
  • 2 TSP Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken

Sauce:

  • 2 TBSP Veg oil
  • ½ Onion finely chopped
  • 3 Cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • ¼ White wine
  • ½ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 1 ¼ Cup Chicken Stock
  • ½ Cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • ½ TSP Black Pepper
  • 1 TSP Italian Seasoning
  • 2 Cups Baby Spinach
  • ½ Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • For the meatballs, combine all meatball ingredients in a bowl, evenly blend but don’t over mix. Roll about 1.5 – 2 TBSP amounts into small meatballs.
  • Heat 2 TBSP oil in a medium sauté pan. Cook meatballs in pan until brown on all sides. They don’t need to be fully cooked; they will cook fully later in the sauce. Remove from pan once brown on all sides, working in batches if needed to not over-crowd the pan.
  • Once meatballs are complete, using the same pan, heat oil and sauté onions for about 3-4 minutes until onions are softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add white wine and cook another 2-3 minutes until wine has reduced. Add sun dried tomatoes, combine.
  • Add the chicken stock and heavy cream, stir to combine evenly. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
  • Once the sauce begins to simmer, add back in the meatballs and cover with lid. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until meatballs are cooked through completely.
  • Add the gnocchi and cook another 5 minutes until gnocchi are cooked.
  • Stir in spinach and parmesan cheese. Allow spinach to wilt.
  • To plate, evenly divide meatballs and gnocchi. Top with additional parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use traditional beef & pork meatballs. 
  • Use kale for more hearty greens.
  • Use the sun-dried tomato oil in place of vegetable oil in the beginning of the sauce.
