Description

30-Minute One-Pan Creamy Gnocchi with Sausage. This dish features pillowy gnocchi in a tomato-cream sauce with Italian sausage.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 32 oz Italian sausage (casings removed)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or butter)
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups dry white wine (or 1.5 cups broth + 2 tbsp lemon juice)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (passata or smooth marinara)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 handful fresh basil, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried basil)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and chopped onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking sausage into crumbles, until browned and onions soften.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in white wine and scrape the pan bottom to release browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to cook off alcohol.
  3. Stir in gnocchi, tomato sauce, and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi floats and is tender.
  4. Turn off heat. Stir in Parmesan and fresh basil until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Let rest for 2 minutes for sauce to thicken.

Notes

  • This recipe is great for busy families or last-minute guests.
  • Feel free to use half-and-half or coconut cream as alternatives to heavy cream.
  • For a lighter dish, reduce the amount of sausage.
