Sådan gør du
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the gnocchi and pan-fry for about 5 minutes until beautifully golden and crispy on the outside. Transfer the gnocchi to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the ground chicken or sausage. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the pizza sauce and add the finely chopped baby spinach. Stir well and simmer for 2 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted and practically invisible to picky eaters.
Return the crispy gnocchi to the skillet, folding it gently so everything is coated in the meaty tomato sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, followed by the mini pepperoni slices.
Place the skillet under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving directly from the pan.
