Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 12 oz Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let flavors meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For extra richness, stir in a splash of heavy cream before adding the gnocchi, or serve with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
