Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Two 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
  • One 17.5-ounce package potato gnocchi
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. Toss together the sausage, oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic, bell peppers, onion, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper on a sheet pan. Pour the cherry tomatoes over top and gently shake the pan a few times to evenly distribute. Bake until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are soft, 18 to 20 minutes. 

  3. Meanwhile, toss the gnocchi with the Parmesan, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 

  4. Turn the oven to broil. Sprinkle the gnocchi over the sausage and vegetables and broil until dark golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Divide among 4 plates and sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan.
