Gnocchi with Sausage and Tomatoes
Description
Gnocchi with Sausage and Tomatoes features tender sweet potato gnocchi combined with browned Italian sausage. After cooking the sausage thoroughly and draining excess oil, diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning are stirred in to create a flavorful sauce. The gnocchi are then folded in and heated briefly to blend the flavors and warm through.
The Italian seasoning imparts classic herbs to complement the sausage and tomatoes, while the gnocchi provide a soft, pillowy texture. The optional addition of heavy cream can mellow the tomato acidity, creating a light rose-colored sauce.
This dish serves as a satisfying, easily assembled meal requiring minimal steps. It is best served immediately to enjoy the contrast of tender gnocchi and savory sausage with a vibrant tomato base.
For a variation that softens acidity, adding cream after the tomatoes can create a slightly richer sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper when serving.
Ingredients
- sweet potato gnocchi 25-30 pieces
- 3/4 pound Italian sausage
- 14 1/2 ounce diced tomatoes canned
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup heavy cream optional - see notes
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet cook Italian sausage over medium high heat break up the sausage with a mixing spoon and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess oil.
- Mix in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Gently fold in gnocchi and let ingredients heat for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If the diced tomatoes are very liquid, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to soften the tomato flavor and create a pink sauce.
