Instructions
Preheat broiler to high.
Place 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower gnocchi and brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove the gnocchi to a plate and set aside.
Pour the remaining teaspoon of olive oil into the skillet. Add the pork and cook until browned, breaking up with a spatula as it cooks.
Add the garlic, salt, pepper and oregano, stir to combine and cook an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet, stir into the pork mixture and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the gnocchi back into the skillet and gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Place the slices of mozzarella on top of the skillet and broil for about 5 minutes until cheese starts to melt.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil and serve.
