Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
One 17.5-ounce package potato gnocchi
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss together the sausage, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, bell peppers, onion, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper on a sheet pan. Pour the cherry tomatoes over top and gently shake the pan a few times to evenly distribute. Bake until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are soft, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the gnocchi with the Parmesan, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Turn the oven to broil. Sprinkle the gnocchi over the sausage and vegetables and broil until dark golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide among 4 plates and sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan.

CHEESY SAUSAGE ONE-POT GNOCCHI



Cheesy Sausage One-Pot Gnocchi image

This quick dish packs lots of flavors in one pot-Italian sausage, zucchini, pesto, kale and mascarpone, to name a few. Store-bought gnocchi is a convenient shortcut ingredient that cooks in just a few minutes. And since the gnocchi simmers right in the sauce, there's no need for a separate pot.

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 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.

CREAMY SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM GNOCCHI SKILLET



Creamy Sausage and Mushroom Gnocchi Skillet image

This is a comforting dish and is indulgent with ingredients like wine, cream, and shallots. I do not recommend adding salt because I find the sausage to have enough salt in it. Although cheese is optional, I find it gets lost in the sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Italian-style turkey sausages, casings removed
4 ounces portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped

½ teaspoon Italian herbs (such as cantanzaro herbs from Savory Spice Shop®)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage (about 3 links), casings removed
1 large or 2 small zucchini (12 ounces), cut into a 1/2-inch dice (2 cups)
1 pound mixed tomatoes, such as beefsteak and cherry, coarsely chopped (3 cups)

1/3 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought (such as Buitoni)
Fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Add zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they start to break down and release their juices, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Transfer gnocchi to skillet and toss to coat, adding pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce. Season to taste. Stir in pesto, sprinkle with basil, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a high-quality Italian sausage. Look for one that is made with fresh pork and has a good balance of spices.
  • Brown the sausage well: Browning the sausage is an essential step that helps to develop its flavor. Be sure to cook it over medium-high heat until it is browned all over.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute any of your favorite vegetables.
  • Season the dish well: Italian sausage and gnocchi are both relatively mild in flavor, so it is important to season the dish well. Be sure to add plenty of garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese is the perfect finishing touch for this dish. It adds a salty, nutty flavor that really brings everything together.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage and gnocchi skillet is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage and vegetables. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
