Cheesy Bratwurst Gnocchi
This cheesy bratwurst gnocchi recipe is made in one pan and has tasty pieces of bratwurst sausage smothered in a creamy tomato cheddar sauce.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 10.6 ounces bratwurst sausages see note
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 (14 fluid ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Take the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it into a skillet. Add the chopped onion and sauté over medium-high heat for 7-10 minutes or until the sausage has browned and the onion has softened up.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add in the Dijon mustard and chicken broth. Give it a good stir and let it bubble for about a minute, while scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, cream, and gnocchi. Reduce the heat to medium. Once it starts to gently bubble, cover the pan and cook for 4 minutes.
- Give the gnocchi a stir. It should be just about cooked, but you may need to cook it for a little longer if the sauce hasn't quite thickened up enough yet (cook it uncovered and stir it often).
- Stir in half the cheddar, and once it's melted, take the pan off the heat. Top the gnocchi with the rest of the cheddar and cover the pan for a couple of minutes until it's melted. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I used 3 sausages from a 5-pack of Johnsonville Brats. Feel free to use anything in that ballpark weight-wise... it doesn't have to be exact. You could use ground-up sausage meat if you prefer.
- There is no need to pre-cook the gnocchi. It cooks in the sauce and thickens it as it cooks.
