Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, cook the sausages for 30 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and soften the onion for about 5 minutes, then add the mushrooms.
If using kale cut the stem out of a few leaves and slice into shreds, fry these in the pan with the mushrooms for about 5 minutes.
Add the passata (and optional chilli flakes), leave to gently simmer and season.
If using spinach, add to the pan until it wilts down and stir in to the sauce.
Chop the sausages into chunks and add to the sauce and stir, leave to simmer all together for 5 minutes.
Whilst the sauce is simmering, boil a pan of salted water and cook the gnocchi according to the packet instructions.
Add the gnocchi to the sauce and stir.
Serve with grated parmesan.
