INGREDIENTS

• 10.6 ounces Italian sausages see note
• 1/2 medium onion chopped
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon DeLallo Chopped Calabrian Chili Peppers or to taste
• 1.5 cups chicken broth or 50/50 chicken broth and dry white wine
• 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
• 1 pound DeLallo Potato Gnocchi uncooked
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + extra for serving
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or to taste
• Salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. Take the sausages out of their casings and crumble them into a deep skillet, along with the onion. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sausage has nicely browned.
2. Stir in the garlic, Dijon mustard, and Calabrian chili peppers, and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Add in the chicken broth and cream. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir in the gnocchi (no need to cook it first!). Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sauce has thickened and the gnocchi are cooked through.
5. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the parmesan and basil. Season with salt & pepper as needed and enjoy immediately with extra parmesan grated over top if you wish.
