Wow was this one pan meal absolutely fantastic and I found myself wanting more the next day! If you have never tried Gnocchi, it is usually made from potatoes and it is a type of dumpling. Normally they are cooked in boiling water but with this recipe they are not. I made this with hot Italian sausage and it was amazing but you can also use mild sausage, whatever your prefer.

  17. This looks delicious! I’m not a huge fan of gnocchi but substituting it with other pastas such as spaghetti sounds like the perfect weeknight meal.

  22. With my DIL being half Italian, her kids love gnocchi and pasta. I think this would be an amazing meal with a salad to serve when this lockdown is over and they can come for dinner again. Thanks Diane.
