"I always knew that food and wine were vital, with my mother being Italian and a good cook."
-Robert Mondavi, Winemaker
I love gnocchi and this rich tomato mushroom sauce just makes it that much better. In the first iteration of this I used a single pepperoncini instead of the paprika. These are small pickled Italian peppers and the slight spiciness adds a lot to the sauce.

Place a large skillet over medium high heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the mushrooms. Cook for about 20 minutes stirring frequently until they are caramelized a rich brown color. Set aside.
While the mushrooms are cooking place the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are softened. Add the tomatoes, paprika, sage and pepper. Cook for about two minutes.
Add the tomato paste and chicken stock along with the cooked mushrooms. Stir and reduce the heat until the sauce is simmering. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half and thickened.
While the sauce is cooking make the gnocchi dough but don't cook them until the sauce is reduced.
When the sauce is reduced add the butter and stir until well blended.
Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 375F. Spray the pan lightly with olive oil. Add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes and then turn.
While the chicken is cooking bring the water to a simmer and add the gnocchi. When the gnocchi pop to the surface of the water, they are done. Divide the gnocchi evenly between two plates, then dd the cooked chicken to the plate.
Serve the sauce over the chicken and gnocchi.
