Sheet Pan Sausage Gnocchi
Sheet Pan Sausage Gnocchi features potato gnocchi and sliced smoked Italian-style chicken sausage roasted with red and yellow bell peppers and red onion. A coating of marinara sauce melds the ingredients, and fresh mozzarella cubes melted on top add creaminess. Fresh basil and grated Parmesan finish the dish with herbaceous and savory accents.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi uncooked
- 12 ounces chicken sausage cut into 1-inch pieces, smoked Italian-style
- 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded, and sliced
- 1 bell pepper cored, seeded, and sliced, yellow
- ½ red onion sliced
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into ½-inch cubes, fresh
- For garnish: fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Remove the gnocchi from the package and make sure none of the gnocchi are stuck together. Spread the gnocchi, sausage, peppers, and onions on the baking sheet. Pour marinara sauce over the gnocchi, sausage, and vegetables. Toss until well coated in the sauce. Note-you can also do this in a bowl before putting on the pan, but I don’t like to dirty an extra dish, I combine right on the pan.
- Spread the gnocchi, sausage, and vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Remove the pan from the oven and evenly sprinkle fresh mozzarella cheese cubes over the top. Place the pan back in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese. Divide the gnocchi onto plates or bowls and serve immediately.
