Enjoy Garlic Butter Gnocchi with Sausage, a quick one-pan meal that is both delicious and easy to prepare.
Equipment
- large nonstick skillet
Ingredients
For the Gnocchi
- 1 pound Gnocchi homemade or store-bought
- 1 pound Italian Sausage can substitute with chorizo, kielbasa, or plant-based variants
For the Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Butter vegan butter or ghee for dairy-free option
- 3 cloves Garlic minced; fresh is best
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice can substitute with white wine or apple cider vinegar
For Garnishing
- ¼ cup Parsley fresh; can substitute with basil, thyme, or oregano
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Start by slicing your sausage into bite-sized pieces and mincing fresh garlic. Gather all your ingredients on the countertop for easy access during cooking.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, toss in the sausage slices, cooking them until they’re beautifully browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the gnocchi to the skillet, spreading them out into a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for approximately 2-3 minutes until they become golden brown on one side.
- Once the gnocchi are crisp and golden, stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until you can smell the fragrant aroma.
- Remove the skillet from heat, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with parsley for that fresh touch. Serve immediately.
Notes
For added richness, top with grated Parmesan cheese. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
