Ingredients to make Sausage Gnocchi
- Butter – helps create buttery tender gnocchi.
- Sausages – Any type of sausage would work such as pork sausage, spicy italian sausage, , hot italian sausage or turkey sausage. I personally love this with a meat-free sausage.
- Garlic – Adds great flavour.
- FreshSage – 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 store-bought gnocchi for this recipe and also in my Gnocchi Bake but if you fancy making your own homemade gnocchi then check out my Sweet Potato Gnocchi.
See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Substitutions
- Butter – instead of butter, you can use a couple tbsp of olive oil or make a creamy sausage gnocchi by adding in heavy cream for a quick cream sauce.
- Gnocchi – use any pasta such as penne. Or try my Easy Sausage Pasta.
- Sage – if you can get hold of fresh sage add 1 to 2 tbsp dried sage instead or sub for italian seasoning and add in some fennel seeds.
- More Veg – You can easily boost the veg content in this recipe. You could add broccoli, cauliflower, fresh spinach, bell peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, aubergine, onion or roasted veg such as sweet potato or butternut squash
Variations
- Spicy – Add some diced jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes for some heat!
- Deluxe – Serve with garlic bread and grated parmesan cheese.
- Kid Friendly – It’s one the entire family will love but if they don’t like the flavour of sage then just remove it.
Instructions to make Sausage & Sage Gnocchi
Step 1: Firstly, chop the sausages into pieces.
Step 2: Heat a non stick pan on a medium heat, adding in the butter, chopped sausages, sage leaves and fry together for 5 minutes (give it a stir with a wooden spoon).
Step 3: Meanwhile, add the gnocchi to a large saucepan of salted boiling water until they start to float (3 minutes) and then drain.
Step 4: Finally, once the sausage meat is cooked add the gnocchi to the pan along with the peas, chopped garlic, pinch salt & black pepper and fry for 5 minutes until the gnocchi starts to crisp up
Hint: Try to get golden brown crispy edges to the gnocchi, it’s delicious!
Leftovers
If you have a portion of this leftover, simply allow to cool at room temperature and place in a airtight 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.
Recipe faqs
Nope, just follow the recipe as this cooks the sausages all the way through.
Any sausages will work for this! I’m personally love using meat free sausages but you could easily using a pork or chicken sausage in this recipe!
Most supermarkets sell it in the fresh herbs section. If you can’t find it then opt for something like rosemary or thyme.
