Notes
- You can sprinkle some fresh basil on top of the sausage gnocchi just before serving to add a touch of freshness.
- To give a spicy kick to this recipe, then add some red chilli flakes at the same time as the chicken stock.
- You could also use a spicy sausage to give that kick of heat.
- Don't like gnocchi? You can use your favourite pasta shape instead, you will just need to cook it separately and then stir it through at the end.
- If you don't have chicken stock, you can just use water for this recipe.
