Gnocchi & Sausage Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Make the Gnocchi

   In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, flour, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

   Form the Gnocchi

   On a floured surface, roll the dough into ropes and cut into small pieces. Shape each piece into a gnocchi.

   Cook the Gnocchi

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain.

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and grill until cooked through and browned, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and slice.

5. 5

   Make the Pesto Cream

   In the same skillet, add heavy cream and pesto. Stir and cook until warmed through.

6. 6

   Combine Everything

   Add the cooked gnocchi to the pesto cream and toss to coat. Serve with sliced sausage on top.
