Method
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Italian sausage. As it cooks, break it apart with a mixing spoon. You want to ensure it’s cooked thoroughly and no longer pink, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. You’ll notice the wonderful aroma filling your kitchen as the sausage sizzles.
- Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess oil from the skillet. This step is crucial to avoid a greasy dish. Keep the skillet on the heat, as you’ll be adding more ingredients shortly.
- Now, it’s time to mix in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for a couple of minutes. The tomatoes will start to break down, creating a lovely sauce.
- Next, gently fold in the gnocchi. You’ll want to be careful during this step, as you don’t want to mash the gnocchi. Ensure it’s evenly coated with the sauce.
- Allow the ingredients to heat together for another 5 minutes. You’ll notice the gnocchi absorbing some of the sauce, making it even more flavorful. This is where the magic happens, so don’t rush!
- Finally, once everything is heated through, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately while it’s hot. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
Notes
For a tasty variation, if the tomatoes have a lot of liquid add 1/4 cup of cream for a light rose colored sauce.
