Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp butter, or extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained
  • 17.5 oz gluten free gnocchi
  • 2 cups bone broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup fresh parmesan, grated
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook the aromatics. Add butter or oil to a large pot and heat over a medium high heat. Once butter is melted, add onions then cook until soft. Next add garlic, cook for 1-2 minutes. 
  • Add the ground chicken. Add ground chicken to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until browned, breaking up as you go. 
  • Add tomato paste, kale, and seasonings. Next, add tomato paste and seasonings. Stir until fully combined then add in kale.
  • Pour in heavy cream and bone broth. Pour in heavy cream and bone broth and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add in gnocchi. Stir occasionally until the gnocchi is tender. 
  • Stir in lemon juice and parmesan. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan and lemon juice. 
  • Serve and enjoy! Ladle the tuscan gnocchi into bowls. Top with fresh parmesan.

Notes

  • For best results, serve this creamy tuscan gnocchi hot with fresh parmesan.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. 
  • When cooking the aromatics, make sure you cook slowly at a low heat to keep from burning them. This helps to release flavor!
  • I used ground chicken and seasoned on my own so I knew what was going into it, but you can use a ground chicken sausage if you find one with good ingredients.
  • Cooking with bone broth gives an extra boost of protein and minerals to the dish.
  • After adding the gnocchi, make sure you stir occasionally so it doesn't clump together. Cook until tender (this took mine about 5-6 minutes).
