Description
This One Pan Sausage and Gnocchi is a cozy weeknight dinner that combines flavorful sausage, tender gnocchi, and fresh vegetables all cooked in one skillet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage or beef sausage
- 1 pound turkey sausage or chicken sausage (optional)
- 1 pound store-bought gnocchi or homemade gnocchi
- 1 pound gluten-free gnocchi (optional)
- 4 cups spinach
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 cup kale, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes (optional)
- 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth or beef broth
- 2 cups low-sodium broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese or Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast (for dairy-free version)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the beef sausage into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and chop your vegetables as needed. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smoother.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Toss in the chopped bell peppers and any other veggies you’re using. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.
- Next, add the gnocchi directly to the skillet. No need to cook them separately! Stir them in with the sausage and veggies.
- Carefully add your chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing the gnocchi to cook and soak up all those wonderful flavors. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the gnocchi are tender and the broth has slightly thickened, fold in the spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a gentle stir to combine everything.
- Enjoy your One Pan Sausage and Gnocchi hot from the skillet! It’s perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner.
