Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi
Garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks for even browning.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage; cook until the onion is softened and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add seasonings and liquids: Stir in the Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and heavy cream. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the pot and stir gently. Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Serve and garnish: Spoon the creamy sausage gnocchi into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, savory finish.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen gnocchi; adjust cooking time if needed.
- For extra heat, add crushed red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free gnocchi and sausage.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
