INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound loose hot Italian sausage, crumbled
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow pepper, sliced
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
• 1 (16-ounce) package DeLallo Potato Gnocchi
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. On a large baking tray, toss together the sausage, Italian seasoning, garlic, peppers, onion, tomatoes and red pepper flakes with 2 tablespoons oil.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and shake tray to evenly distribute mixture.
4. Bake until the sausage is cooked and the vegetables are soft, about 22 to 25 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for gnocchi. Cook gnocchi 3 to 4 minutes, or until they float to the top. With a slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to a bowl.
6. Toss the gnocchi with the cheese and 1 tablespoon of the oil to coat.
7. Once the sausage mixture is cooked, remove baking tray from the oven. Add an even layer of cooked gnocchi to the top of the sausage mixture. Switch oven to broil and cook until dark golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven. Serve sprinkled with fresh parsley. Divide onto plates or serve family style.
