Crockpot Tuscan Sausage and White Bean Ragu with Buttered Gnocchi

Honestly, I do not know why on earth I don’t make more dishes like this. Ragu sauces are just so good, and a giant bowl of buttered gnocchi can almost NEVER be beat. It’s incredibly cozy and delicious.

Recipe By: Teighan Gerard @halfbakedharvest

Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans DeLallo San Marzano Style Whole Peeled Tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper
  • 1 pound ground spicy Italian sausage
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale, roughly chopped
  • 3 cups cooked white beans (about 1 14 ounce can)
  • 1 pound DeLallo Potato Gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • fresh basil and parmesan cheese, for topping

Directions

  • Using your hands, crush the tomatoes over the bowl of a 4-8 quart crockpot. Add the onion, garlic, tomato paste, red wine, dried basil, dried oregano, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir.
  • Now grab the sausage and roll it into very tiny, bite size balls, adding the to the crockpot as you go. The smaller you can roll the balls, the better. Gently stir the sausage into the sauce. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 30 minutes before serving, stir in the kale and white beans. Crank the heat up to high, cover and cook another 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package directions and then toss with 2 tablespoons butter and a little fresh basil + parmesan.
  • To serve, divide the gnocchi among plates or bowls. Top with the ragu and then garnish with basil and parmesan. Enjoy!
