Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Italian sausage see note
  • 1/2 small onion chopped finely
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine (e.g. sauvignon blanc)
  • 1 (14 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

  • Sauté the sausage and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  • 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. 
  • For the sausages, anything around the 16 ounce/1 pound ballpark is fine - it doesn't need to be exact. Buy ground sausage meat or take the sausage meat out of the casings if using whole sausages.
