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.

My family loved this! I skipped the crushed red pepper and accidentally left out the tomatoes. The Gnocchi did come out chewy. I used a different brand than normal so I wasn’t sure if that was why. I sure like not having to boil it first but may have to if my regular brand of Gnocchi comes out the same. I added 1 lb. Smoked sausage since I was feeding 5. All but 1 preferred the smoked sausage to the Italian. Look forward to making it again, with the tomatoes. I may try diced Italian seasoned tomatoes, drained.
