    This one pan creamy gnocchi with sausage recipe is an easy, quick, and incredibly delicious comfort food meal. Ready in 30 minutes!

    skillet with Italian sausage gnocchi and a serving spoon

    It's time for another simple gnocchi recipe! My creamy spinach and mushroom gnocchi recipe has been doing really well (it is delicious), so I made a creamy tomato gnocchi recipe recently as well.

    Those two recipes are vegetarian, so I decided to make one for the meat lovers out there.

    I'm super excited about this one too!

    What kind of gnocchi to use?

    I buy the shelf-stable potato gnocchi found in the pasta aisle of most major grocery stores.

    plate with creamy Italian sausage gnocchi

    Like the other gnocchi recipes, this Italian sausage gnocchi is a one pan wonder as well. No need to boil the gnocchi in a separate pan because it all cooks in the sauce.

    Fewer dishes!

    And this sauce is lip-smackingly good. It's tomato-based, creamy, garlicky, and the pieces of Italian sausage take the flavor to the next level. Total comfort food.

    You know me... I love me some creamy sauces every now and then. 😉

    Pro tip: If you can't use white wine for whatever reason, try replacing it with chicken broth + 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

    Have you tried my Sausage, Kale, and Gnocchi Soup or my Easy Chicken Gnocchi Soup?

    Ingredients
     

    • 8.8 ounces Italian sausages see recipe notes
    • 1/2 small onion chopped finely
    • 4 cloves garlic minced
    • 1/3 cup dry white wine (e.g. sauvignon blanc)
    • 1 (14 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
    • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
    • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
    • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    • Handful fresh basil torn
    • Salt & pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Prep your sausage and onion. Feel free to take the sausage meat out of the casing if that's easier than cutting it.
    • Sauté the sausage pieces and onion in a skillet on on medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes, or until the sausage and onions are lightly browned.
    • Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. 
    • Add the wine and let it cook for about a minute.
    • Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream, and gnocchi. Once the sauce starts to bubble again, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 5 minutes. 
    • Uncover the pan, give it a good stir, and let it cook for another few minutes, or until the gnocchi has cooked through and is nice and soft and the sauce has thickened to your liking.
    • Stir in the parmesan cheese, basil, and salt & pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. 

    Notes

    • There is no need to pre-cook the gnocchi. It'll cook right in the sauce. 
    • I bought a pack of 5 mild Italian sausages (Johnsonville brand) and used half of it for this recipe. Anything around the 8-10 ounce or so mark would work. Feel free to substitute with spicy Italian or another similar variety of sausage.

      I used whole milk. Did not have cream used red wine because it’s also what I had. And...WOW. This is a yummy dish. A warm in your tummy dish. Will make this again and again. Thanks for the great recipe.

        Hi! You could try, but there's a chance it will curdle. I think it should be ok in this recipe because of the starch released by the gnocchi, though. Hope it works! Let me know if you try. 🙂

      My hubby was skeptical about gnocchi but I pushed for it and he agreed to try. And we both loved it. He would like more tomato flavour so we will probably add a can of tomato sauce next time and there will definitely be a next time!

        I did substitute about half whole milk in place of the heavy cream to lighten it up a bit. I added a can of tomato paste to mine. It gave it a nice tomato flavor and helped thicken the sauce. This is the second time I’m making it!

      This recipe was without a doubt delicious! I used a pound of ground mild sausage. And added mushrooms just because I thought it would add something extra. But this recipe is a must try. The leftovers are so good. The sauce thickened a little more and it was just perfect. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!

      I made this for dinner last night and it was incredible! The whole family loved it.
      It made alot of sauce so some crusty bread is a must.
      I had enough left over for myself for lunch today and I added more chicken broth when I heated it back up and now today it's a fabulous soup.
      Thank you for the recipe!

      I was looking for gnocchi recipe ideas and came across yours. I had everything except fresh basil and used dried instead. It was a big hit with my family, served with some crusty bread to dip in the delicious sauce. Will definitely be making it again. Thank you.

      Tasty quick meal. I subbed some homemade tomato sauce that I needed to use up, and 1/2 and 1/2, because I always have that in the house. I also used hot venison sausage (so yes to the previous reviewer who asked if you could). It was delicious. Next time I might try parboiling the gnocchi and sauteing up in some butter to brown, then adding to the sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

      Hi!
      If I make this with frozen gnocchi, can I still cook it all in one pot or should I boil the gnocchi first?

      • Natasha says

        November 10, 2020 at 11:14 AM

        The one pan method should work still. I'd probably cook it at a slightly lower heat for a bit longer and stir a couple times just to ensure it isn't sticking to the bottom of the pan.

      This was so delicious! I'm not a fan of most tomato-based pasta sauces but this was so yummy. The only substitutions I made were to use spicy Italian sausages and to use passata instead of diced tomatoes and it worked really well! The sauce was smooth and flavourful and the gnocchi was soft and perfectly cooked as per the recipe.
      Thanks for the recipe!

      Hello Natasha. I stumble into your recipe for Gnocchi with sausage from GoddTaste TV. Is there a brand of gnocchi you recommend? And can I use deer sausage? I hunt and usually process regular and jalapeno with cheese sausage. I'm a beginner cook and like to give certain recipes a try and you nailed it. I appreciate Italian recipes. Your website is neat, simple, and clear. I like it. Thanks.

        Hi Jeff! I live in Canada, so I am usually pretty hesitant to recommend brands because most of my audience is in the USA, and I have found that gnocchi brands don't seem to be the same. Honestly, I just buy what's available in the grocery store since there usually isn't a huge selection where I live. With that said, I LOVE DeLallo products (I've worked with them on blog posts before and got to sample some of their products), so I would try their gnocchi if you can find it. I have yet to try it, but based on their other products, it should be good! I think deer sausage would be fine! It'll definitely have a slightly different flavor, but I think it'll be delicious. I'm so glad you like the website!! 🙂

      Love this recipe! It's part of my regular rotation. I sometimes use low carb noodles instead of gnocchi (and let it simmer a little longer to reduce the sauce). I also add two big handfuls of spinach before serving!

      This is now one of my favorite go-to easy comfort meals. So simple, but so delicious! I like to add a bag of fresh spinach just at the end. Makes it a on-pot meal.

      This is delicious. I’ve made it 2X now. Both times I used 1/2 and 1/2 because it’s what I have in the house. My Italian husband called it “restaurant quality.” Last night I ate mine over a bed of fresh baby spinach which was great as well if you want to eat more greens but don’t like salad like me. Thanks.

      So good!! Made this for the first time last night and I wanted to eat the whole pan! Would you happen to know how many calories are in one serving? Just trying to track what I eat. 🙂

        Hi Marissa! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 I'm hesitant to put calorie info on the more decadent dishes like this one. A lot of people have an emotional attachment to the number, and I'd hate to deter someone for making and enjoying it or bring up feelings of guilt. I realize that is probably not the answer you were hoping for! Calories also do vary a lot depending on what type of sausage you use and the exact brand, so weighing the actual ingredients you use and inputting them into something like My Fitness Pal would probably give you a more accurate estimate.

        Hi! I haven't tried. In my personal experience, cream sauces don't always thaw so well. They tend to separate. And the gnocchi may get a little gloopy. With that said, it doesn't hurt to try if you end up with leftovers. I recommend re-heating on a low heat, and you may need to add a little more cream to restore the sauce to its former glory. If you've got a few minutes, maybe read thru the comments to see if other readers have tried freezing it. Let us know how it goes!

      I made this tonight and it was DELICIOUS! There’s an incredible gnocchi restaurant around the corner and I eat there all the time but THIS was on par as good, and so easy to make. Thank you!! 😍

        Quick question, is this ok to make in advance (say during the afternoon) and then just re-heat for dinner? Sometimes our schedules our crazy and we can’t eat dinner until 9 or 10, but I’d love to prepare in advance.

        Also, how is it as leftovers? (If there are any ;))

          Hi Lisa! I think that should probably be fine, but reheat on a low heat since cream sauces can easily separate when re-heating. You may need to add a splash more cream to restore the sauce to its original glory.

      I literally make this at least once a week. Sometimes I’ll throw in some leftover spinach. One time I used bow tie pasta, though I should have cooked that some first and then added it to everything. It’s so easy and the cleanup is barely anything. It’s a staple in my recipe book now. Thank you so much! 🙂

      Delicious it is. I made it to recipe with one very minor addition: I crumbled in one strip of leftover bacon at the end. This was so quick and so good - rare to get such a nice combination.

      I’m hoping to make this tonight, but have to use what I have on hand for obvious reasons.

      I do have light cream and half and half. Would either work, or save the recipe for when my next food order comes in?

      Also, don’t have fresh basil leaves- which I know is heavenly! I’m growing them in my AeroGarden, but not quite ready to use. Can I use dried? If so, how much?

      Thanks so much!

        Hi Pam! I would use whichever of those two that has the highest fat percentage. I think this recipe probably will be fine if you don't use the heavy cream because the potato gnocchi will release starch to thicken the sauce, but the sauce will likely be a bit thinner/more watery overall. If you're not ok with that, I'd wait until your next order. As far as the basil goes, you could probably just skip it. I really just add it for the flavor that only fresh basil can give.

        So easy and delicious! I used chicken sausage and cauliflower gnocchi (what I had) for a healthier version. Definitely a keeper.
