This Sausage & Sage Gnocchi is my go to quick dinner right now. It’s ready in under 15 minutes, mostly made in one-pan and it’s packed full of flavour!
This will become your new favourite fast dinner after work. It’s comforting and perfect for this time of the year. Crispy sage, sausages and gnocchi together all in one-pan, what’s not to love!
Have you ever made your own gnocchi before? It’s actually quite easy, let me show you how to make my Sweet Potato Gnocchi. If you’ve also not tried baked gnocchi then you need to try it now.
Ingredients
- Butter – I use a vegan butter to make this dairy-free to cater for my dairy allergy, but you can use whichever you prefer.
- Sausages – I used meat-free sausages but again you can use whichever you want
- Garlic – Adds great flavour but could be omitted if you don’t have or like it.
- Fresh Sage – When fried with the sausages it goes crispy and delicious (see substitutions below if you can’t get hold of fresh sage).
- Peas – Adds colour and extra goodness.
- Gnocchi – I used a gluten-free gnocchi for this recipe but you can use which you prefer or you could even make your own! Just search my website for Sweet Potato Gnocchi.
See recipe card at the bottom of this page for quantities.
Instructions
Firstly, chop the sausages into pieces.
Heat a non stick pan on a medium heat, adding in the butter, chopped sausages, sage leaves and fry together for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to a pot of salted boiling water until they start to float (3 minutes) and then drain
Finally, add the gnocchi to the pan along with the peas, chopped garlic, pinch salt & pepper and fry for 5 minutes until the gnocchi starts to crisp up
Hint: Try to get crispy edges to the gnocchi, it’s delicious!
Substitutions
Here are a few suggestions for how you can adapt or substitute ingredients:
- Butter – instead of butter, you can use a couple tbsp of olive oil
- Gnocchi – use any pasta such as penne
- Sage – if you can get hold of fresh sage add 1 to 2 tbsp dried sage instead
- More Veg – You can easily boost the veg content in this recipe. You could add broccoli, cauliflower, aubergine, onion or roasted veg such as sweet potato or butternut squash.
Variations
This recipe is very flexible, I use gluten-free, dairy-free and meat-free ingredients due to allergies and personal choices but you can easily use:
- Meaty Sausages – Add meat sausages if you prefer
- Butter – Any butter/margarine you wish to use
- Gnocchi – Any gnocchi or pasta you have to hand
Equipment
Use a non stick pan this will stop the sausages, sage and gnocchi from sticking!
Leftovers
If you have a portion of this leftover, simply place in a sealed container in the fridge overnight. You can either reheat or eat cold the next day for lunch/dinner.
Gnocchi doesn’t freeze that well so eat within a few days of making.
