Ingredients
- 1, oz. pkg. gnocchi
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 shallot, minced
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 lb. hot Italian sausage
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp. salt, plus more to taste
- 2 Tbsp. fresh sage, chopped
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup Parmesan, freshly grated
Instructions
- Cook gnocchi according to package directions. Drain, drizzle with olive oil so they don't stick together and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add in Italian sausage and cook, crumbling it up, until browned. About 5-7 minutes.
- Add butter to pan and allow it to melt. Whisk in flour and stir all together with the sausage.
- Slowly and gradually whisk in milk and cream. Stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to boil and thicken. Sauce may appear thin, but it will thicken as it cooks, and thicken further when gnocchi is added in.
- Season with salt & pepper. Stir in sage and Parmesan cheese.
- Stir in gnocchi and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Heavy cream & Milk: Cold milk and cream will cause the sauce to clump so let the cream and milk sit out at room temperature before adding to the roux.
- Use turkey sausage or even ground turkey if preferred.
- Add chili flakes for even more spice.
- The sauce thickens as it cools, so when reheating add cream or broth before serving.
- Be sure to use fresh sage for optimal flavor.
