For a spicier kick, substitute mild Italian sausage with hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet. To elevate the dish further, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to deglaze the skillet after browning the sausage. Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, can be added at the end for a burst of freshness.

02
StepDrain excess oil and keep meat mixture in the skillet. Add gnocchi, stirring to break up any clumps. Stir in tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
03
StepStir in spinach and nutmeg and simmer until spinach has wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top, cover, and simmer until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
