In a bowl, combine: 1 can cream of chicken 4 cups chicken stock 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes 2 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp salt ½ tsp black pepper red pepper flakes, if using

Step 4

Pour everything over the meatballs and onion. Give it a gentle stir.

Cover and cook on LOW for about 3.5-4hours. You don't need to keep stirring it.

When the meatballs are hot and you're about 30 minutes from eating, add the entire 16-oz package of gnocchi and 2–3 cups spinach. Stir them into the sauce.

Turn the crockpot to HIGH, cover, and cook another 20–30 minutes, until the gnocchi is soft all the way through and everything is piping hot.
