Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
6 pork sausages
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
500g fresh gnocchi
500ml chicken stock (fresh if you can get it)
100g chopped kale
40g parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large high-sided frying pan over a medium heat. Squeeze the sausages straight from their skins into the pan, then use the back of a wooden spoon to break the meat up. Sprinkle in the chilli flakes and fennel seeds, if using, then fry until the sausagemeat is crisp around the edges. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
  • Tip the gnocchi into the pan, fry for a minute or so, then pour in the chicken stock. Once bubbling, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 3 mins, then stir in the kale. Cook for 2 mins more or until the gnocchi is tender and the kale has wilted. Stir in the parmesan, then season with black pepper and scatter the crisp sausagemeat over the top.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 small zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 small summer squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken stock
One 15-ounce can tomato sauce
2 heaping tablespoons pesto
One 15-ounce package gnocchi
3 cups torn kale
4 ounces mascarpone
Small block Parmesan, for grating
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium heat. Brown the sausage in larger chunks, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Drizzle in the olive oil, then add the chile flakes, garlic and shallot. Give the pan a stir, then add the corn, zucchini and summer squash and cook to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to coat. Deglaze with the chicken stock, scraping the pan. Stir in the tomato sauce and pesto, then bring to a boil. Add the gnocchi, kale and reserved sausage, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the mascarpone and taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve, garnished with grated Parmesan and basil.

Tips:

  • To make the gnocchi, use a potato ricer to get the smoothest texture.
  • Don't overwork the dough, or the gnocchi will be tough.
  • Cook the gnocchi in batches so that they don't stick together.
  • When cooking the sausage, use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
  • Add the kale to the skillet towards the end of cooking so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the gnocchi with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi with sausage and kale is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The gnocchi are light and fluffy, the sausage is savory and flavorful, and the kale adds a touch of bitterness that balances out the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
