Place a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once warm, add in the chicken sausage slices and saute until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer the sausage to a large plate and set aside.

Warm an additional tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over medium heat, then add in the shallots, garlic and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook until shallot is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the Italian seasoning and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until tomato paste deepens in color, which will allow the flavor to bloom. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, then heavy cream (or coconut milk) and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir in the gnocchi and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Finally stir in the spinach and chicken sausage and cook for an additional minute until spinach wilts. Stir in parmesan cheese. If you’d like a more creamy or saucy gnocchi, feel free to add a generous splash or two of chicken broth.

Finally garnish with basil, extra parm and dig in! This is great with a side of garlic bread for dipping in that delicious sauce.
