Preparation Steps
- 1
Roast the Broccoli
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the crumbled Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

Prepare the Cheese Sauce
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and grated asiago cheese. Cook until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Cook the Gnocchi
In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Combine and Serve
