Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and onions to the pan. Season with salt and cook for 5 minutes. The onions should be soft and translucent.
2. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for another minute. Remove the sausage and onions from the pan and set aside.
3. Place the pan back on the stove over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the gnocchi. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. The gnocchi should become crispy on the outside.
4. Next, add the sausage and onions to the gnocchi and add the broth and pumpkin. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
5. Fold the spinach into the pan. Once it has wilted, stir in the blended cottage cheese.
