Tangy Sausage Gnocchi

I recently put a poll on Instagram. And asked my followers what recipes they would like to see more of on the blog. I also inquired about their preferences on all our other socials. About 56% of those who answered chose quick and easy recipes. This ‘Tangy Sausage Gnocchi’ recipe is just that. You’ll have a hassle-free dinner or quick lunch in minutes and all in one pan.

Just with a few readily available pantry ingredients, you can easily make this tangy sausage gnocchi.

Ingredients used

For this recipe, I used 1 kg of store-bought gnocchi. You can make the gnocchi recipe from scratch, too. However, I didn’t have the time for that. I also lacked the patience. I have never tried making fresh gnocchi. It is definitely something I want to do when I visit my Italian friend Nicole in Italy.

For this recipe, I used aromatics like onions and garlic. Spinach adds an extra punch of flavour and vegetable goodness. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms, courgettes/zucchini, or carrots, etc.

I find tomato passata very acidic and strong, so I normally revamp it. To 1 cup or 250 g tomato passata add a teaspoon each of red chilli flakes and Italian seasoning.

I used 100 g of sliced spicy sausage but you can always use more for this recipe.

If you don’t have vegetable stock readily available at home, you can add a spoonful of vegetable stock powder. Alternatively, use cubes in hot water.

I love this recipe with Parmesan but you can add any other cheese as per your preference.
