Add oil to a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat; add squash and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly soft and golden, 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper, continue cooking until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and half and half cream to the skillet, stirring well to incorporate. As it begins to simmer, quickly stir in the fresh gnocchi, adding additional chicken broth if needed for the gnocchi to cook. Add the fresh spinach leaves to the top (or frozen spinach that has been thawed and well drained). Cover and cook until the gnocchi are just tender, about 5 minutes.
Uncover and stir in 1/2 c. parmesan cheese. Transfer the contents of the dish to a casserole dish or individual serving ramekin. Sprinkle each with a bit of Parmesan, Broil for 2 minutes, or until golden brown & bubbly.
