Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 3 qt. casserole dish and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and Italian sausage. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables are tender, and the sausage is browned, 5-6 minutes.

Add the power greens and continue cooking until they wilt, 1-2 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, prepare gnocchi according to package directions in salted boiling water.
-
Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and milk to the sausage mixture and continue cooking until the cream sauce is bubbly and the cream cheese is nicely melted, another 2-3 minutes.

When gnocchi has finished cooking, drain and add to the sausage mixture. Stir to coat.
-
Transfer the gnocchi and sausage mixture into prepared casserole dish and top with fontina cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and is light golden-brown.
