GNOCCHI AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Gnocchi and Chicken Sausage image

This recipe uses chicken-Asiago cheese sausage with gnocchi. I put it together one day (quickly) and now it's one of my favorites. It's good by itself or great with vodka sauce or spaghetti sauce, as well. Top with Parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese.

Don't overwork the gnocchi dough, or it will become tough.
When cooking the gnocchi, be sure to use a large pot of boiling water and salt the water generously.
Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top of the water, then remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
When cooking the chicken sausage, be sure to brown it well on all sides before adding the sauce.
Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor.
Serve the gnocchi and chicken sausage with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and some fresh basil.
