Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gnocchi

    Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of salted boiling water until they float to the surface, then remove them and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage meat and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Breadcrumbs

    In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet with the sausage, add the cooked gnocchi. Toss gently to combine. Add freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper, mixing until the cheese melts and coats the gnocchi.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the gnocchi and top with the garlic breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with additional Pecorino and black pepper, if desired.
