How to Make this Creamy Tomato Gnocchi and Sausage
Start by heating up a friendly tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a nice, big skillet. Throw in those sliced sausages and let them sizzle until they’re beautifully browned. Now, let’s get cozy with some tomato paste—toss it into the same skillet with the sausage, give it a good stir, and let it hang out for about 2 minutes until it turns this gorgeous deep red color. Time to invite the uncooked potato gnocchi, heavy cream, and chicken stock to the party. Crank up the heat to medium, bring it all to a lively boil, and stir everything until it’s mingling just right. Pop a lid on the skillet, and let it all simmer for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi is all tender and happy.
Now, let’s kick it up a notch! Add some hot honey, garlic, herbs, chili flakes, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to the mix. Bring the sauce back to a friendly boil on medium heat, then dial it down to low-medium, giving it a good stir. Let it simmer until that sauce gets wonderfully thick—it’s about 5 minutes of magic. If you’re feeling a bit saucy and want it thinner, just toss in a splash of water.
And there you have it! Serve this deliciousness with some fresh bread, and you’re in for a treat. Get ready to savor every bite and enjoy the warmth of a home-cooked meal!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
This recipe stores extremely well in the fridge. I have not tested this recipe frozen. Much like cooked pasta, gnocchi typically does not freeze well after it has been cooked, but it does refrigerate well. Simply store this dish in the fridge for three days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for best results.
