Cook gnocchi in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions.  Drain, rinse, and pat dry.  (If using shelf-stable gnocchi, skip this.) Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Add gnocchi and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.  Stir in broth, currants, sage, and pepper.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring, until squash is almost cooked through 6-8 minutes.  Add spinach, chickpeas, and gnocchi, and cook, gently stirring, until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes more.  Serve with balsamic vinegar.
