Ingredients
- 16 ounces gnocchi, shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 medium broccoli bunch cut into florets
- 2 medium bell peppers, any color cut into thin strips
- 1 medium red onion cut into thin strips
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅓ cup olive oil (optional - use the oil from the mozzarella balls and top it off with olive oil to make ⅓ cup)
- 1 pound Italian sausage, mild or hot
- 8 ounces fresh small mozzarella balls or pearls, drained (I used mozzarella balls in oil with chili peppers and garlic)
- Garnish: fresh basil, grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the gnocchi, grape tomatoes, minced garlic, broccoli florets, bell peppers, red onion, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss with olive oil.
- Pour the gnocchi and vegetables onto a sheet pan. Break up the sausage into large chunks and add to the pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the gnocchi have begun to brown and crisp up. Stir once halfway through baking time.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and scatter mozzarella balls over all. Bake an additional 5-8 minutes or until the mozzarella has melted.
