Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1/2 Sweet Onion, diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 4 Oz Sundried Tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 Cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth
  • 2 Tsp Constarch
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • 3 Cups Kale, roughly chopped (may substitute fresh spinach)
  • 3/4 Cup Grated Parmesan + more for topping
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 Lb Gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  • In a large high-walled skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion, breaking up the beef as it cooks. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and drain off fat if there is more than a tablespoon.
  • Add the garlic and the sundried tomatoes, cooking until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch with the beef broth. Add the beef broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Cook at a gentle simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Begin cooking your gnocchi according to package instructions or recipe directions.
  • Add the chopped kale to the skillet. It will look like a lot at first, but will cook down. Cook until the kale is wilted.
  • Divide the cooked gnocchi between bowls and top with the beefy Tuscan sauce. Top with extra parmesan. Enjoy!
