Mash the potatoes in a large bowl, leave them too cool down so they're not piping hot then make a well in the centre and crack in the egg. Beat the egg. Begin to bring parts of the mashed potatoes into the centre bit by bit and mix in with the egg. Combine well together then add in the flour bit by bit whilst gently mixing together. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Turn the mixture out of the bowl once combined into a lightly floured surface and knead. Knead until slightly tacky, elastic and quite smooth in texture. Round off into a large ball and cut into quarters. Take one quarter and roll it out into a long sausage shape. Cut into 1 inch pieces all along its length. Dust over a tiny bit more flour if needed.

While the water boils, heat up a frying pan over a medium heat and add in torn pieces of sausage with a little oil. Fry until browned on all sides and almost cooked through. Add the spinach leaves and wilt down. If any water is released from the spinach, drain it off. Add in the chicken stock and garlic purée and bring to a simmer. Season well with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat once the chickens cooked and the stock reduced by half. Once cooled a bit, pour in the cream and stir through.

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water. Once the gnocchi is cooked (when they float to the waters surface), drain off the water well and then add it in with the sausages and creamy spinach sauce. Toss everything together until evenly distributed and the gnocchi is coated. Serve up and if desired finish with a little grated parmesan. Enjoy. :)
