Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz Italian sausage
- 16 oz potato gnocchi
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp hot honey
- 3 cloves minced garlic

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Add sausage and cook until browned.
- To the same skillet with sausage, add the tomato paste. Stir along with the sausage and cook for about 2 minutes until a deep red. Add uncooked potato gnocchi, heavy cream, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil on medium heat and stir everything well. Cover with lid, and cook for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi is tender.

Cook until the sauce thickens substantially. This will take about 5 minutes. For a thinner sauce, add a splash of water. Serve with fresh bread and enjoy!
Notes
Gnocchi: I used the dry gnocchi you find in the pasta aisle for this recipe. I have not tested this recipe with frozen gnocchi. If you choose to use frozen gnocchi, plan on extra cook time.
