Slow Cooker
Slow Cooker Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Gnocchi with Delicata Squash & Spinach
This cozy, hearty slow-cooker dinner features tender gnocchi and veggies in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. The dusting of flour in the gnocchi packaging helps thicken the broth over the long, gentle cooking time—and a swirl of cream finishes the dish. Serve with crusty whole-wheat bread for sopping up the tangy sauce.

Ingredients
- 4 cups unsalted vegetable broth
- ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
- 1 small delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic, grated

- 1 (5 ounce) package baby spinach
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Directions
- Combine broth, sun-dried tomatoes, gnocchi, squash and garlic in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until the squash is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 3 hours.
