Chicken Meatballs & Gnocchi

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt.
  2. Halve and core one apple. Halve and peel one onion. . Grate both into a large bowl.
  3. Thinly slice the remaining onion. Slice the remaining apple into 1/4 inch wedges.
  4. Arrange the apple wedges on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.
  5. Add the ground chicken to the bowl with the grated apple and onion. Stir to combine and season generously with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into golf-ball-sized meatballs.
  6. Heat another drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the pan and cook, rotating occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown on all sides, for 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  7. While the meatballs cook, add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 7-9 minutes, until tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. HINT: When the gnocchi float to the top of the water, they are probably done!
  8. Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan you cooked the meatballs in over medium heat. Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Add the gnocchi to the pan along with the sage, spinach, 2 Tablespoons butter, and a splash of pasta water if necessary. Toss until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens, for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the Parmesan cheese, baked apple wedges, and chicken meatballs into the pan. Divide between bowls and enjoy!
