Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: In an air tight container in the fridge up to 3 days in the fridge. To re-heat, add the Sausage Pesto Gnocchi to a large non-stick frying pan with a little bit of oil and a splash of water over a low heat. 
To Freeze: I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe.
Tip 1: Chop the sausages equally so they cook evenly. 
Tip 2: If you're gluten and dairy free make sure you're using the appropriate pesto.
Tip 3: If you have other veg lying around the add it in!
