Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 12 oz Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and 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 up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add red pepper flakes if using. Simmer the sauce for 8-10 minutes to meld the flavors. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the gnocchi is heated through.
- Remove from heat, stir in fresh basil, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of ricotta cheese before serving.
