Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Potato gnocchi
- 250 g Italian sausage
- 100 g Arugula (rucola)
- 80 g Sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Add the julienned sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted into the sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if using. Turn off the heat.
Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water according to the package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the sauce.
Toss the gnocchi gently in the sauce to coat evenly. Add the arugula and stir until just wilted.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
